Helsinki: So, you might think that if a speed camera is on the other side of the road, you’re in the clear, right? Well, not exactly. It’s a common belief, but it’s not the whole story.
Most fixed speed cameras can’t catch you if you’re on the opposite side. But here’s the kicker: mobile speed vans and handheld speed guns can definitely get you. They can be parked anywhere, so it’s smart to keep your speed in check.
Just recently, a millionaire in Finland got slapped with a whopping $130,000 ticket for going 20 mph over the limit. That’s because fines there are based on income, which is pretty wild!
Since speed cameras first popped up in the UK back in 1991, drivers have been trying to outsmart them. But honestly, the best move is to just drive safely and stick to the speed limits. It keeps you and everyone else on the road safe.
Plus, getting caught can lead to penalty points and hefty fines. If you keep racking up those offenses, you could even lose your license. So, it’s really not worth the risk!
