How many of you have had a speeding ticket issued as a result of triggering a speed camera, and just paid up ?

I had one recently, claiming that I was doing 46 MPH in a 30 zone, - not in my own car, which is fitted with a GPS warning device.

In the past 5 years I have thrown a spanner into the works 3 times due to admin errors, and local authorities have simply not bothred to reply or take it any further.

I wonder if it complies with the manufacturers reccomendations, ie; if at 100yds away a car parked on your drive could cause reflections that might affect the calibration.
