When you whiz through a speed camera, a speed sensor which works on the doppler principle logs your speed, and activates the circuits or mechanism to snap a picture of your car as it passes through the focal range of the camera.

Now, presumably, if you crank up your speed high enough, you would be able to escape out of the cameras field of view or focal range before the camera got activated.

But what speed would be required to acchieve this?

And would it be possible to travel so fast that the speed detector mechanism doesn't even notice you because you've passed it by before it even had a chance to register your existence?

i have a 1990 mitsu eclipse 1.8l 5spd. i replace ecm and head gasket 1700miles ago. Car ran great for that period then the idle started jumping almost 900rpm at idle and was errattic after warm up took to a shop and mechanic told me that was normal for that car. about two weeks later I'm on interstate and I hear a electronic clicking type sound from area under dash center (ecm location) and it just shut down the engine.it will restart run for about a min or two and shut down again. you can repeat this and gas on it to keep it running but it will shut down after about 5mins of 3000+ rpm. now i'll run it parked as soon as it warms up starts the the same stuff over again. no oil or coolant leaks, since headgasket replacement. Somebody told me it is the air idle control and someone else mentioned thottle postion senor ,I still believe it's the ECM.

ok, no stupid answers please,
why are there more accidents in uk than germany but yet germany had NO speed limit on their motorways (auto-bann)

strange that isn't it!!! is it because US in uk don't know how to drive or is it because the speed limit is too low and yet ppl try and get to A-B faster so they are breaking the speed limit-resulting in RTA's(road traffic accidents!

Seeing as how diesels are much tougher than petrols, i thought it would be better over the longer term use of the car
