are you sitting comfortably,then i'll begin...

coming from northwich last bank holiday monday down the slip road back to chester slotted in behind 2 sports bikes with a third coming up behind me on the A556 sandiway we all slowed for the speed camera by the Blue Cap pub
I have always understood this camera to be live so whenever out that way always go through both ways at 40 ,anyway got a NIP for 51mph
Anyone know how they work if 3rd sportsbike triggered camera could it be "confused" any ideas .License is clean agin so not overly bothered apart from £60 but when your fairly sure you do something I don't just want to roll over

Ask for the photo, explain the situation, if there are two bikes in the shot, they may recind the demand. I believe they work on radar and sensors on the road so as to give a double measure of the speed. There are, IIRC 3 thin white lines on the ground and if your front wheel is photographed on the line, then you have tripped the ground sensors at the indicated speed.

if

there were multiple vehicles in the frame I would seek legal advice or plead not guilty and give it a run at court. I'm not 100% certain how it stands with fixed cameras but am fairly sure that with hand-held devices the ACPO guidelines state if multiple guidlines are in the beam then it. Below is an extract from the guidelines:-

Code of practice for operational use of enforcement equipment
9.4 Multiple Vehicles
Radar speedmeters are designed to measure the speed of one vehicle at a time. Should there be more than one vehicle present in the radar field of
view, it is possible for the device to detect two different signals, and alternately display different speeds in which case the check must be aborted. With more than one vehicle (especially when they are of a similar size) within the range of the radar, the meter may read the nearer vehicle, but not necessarily, since the reflected signal from a vehicle is very complex and fluctuates rapidly as the view of the vehicle changes slightly. An operator must not make detections for prosecution when more than one vehicle is within the radar detection range.
It is quite possible for the signal from a large vehicle some distance behind a smaller vehicle to override the signal from the nearer vehicle.
