[quote=Anonymous]I received a camera ticket in a different jurisdiction for going 11 mph over the speed limit. I was very surprised because not only did I not drive 10+ mph over the speed limit ever, but this was for an area where I knew there were speed cameras and I was always especially mindful of my speed. I knew there was no way I had driven that fast, but I just went ahead and paid the ticket because, really, how do you dispute it? Later, I saw a report on the local news that lots of drivers were complaining that the cameras weren’t calibrated correctly and were recording faster speeds than cars were actually driving. That news report was how I learned that you had to exceed the speed limit by at least 11 mph in that jurisdiction to receive a ticket. Suddenly I understood how I got a ticket for precisely 11 mph over. If both of your son’s tickets were for the exact minimum speed it takes to get a ticket, I’d be very suspicious, but I don’t know that you can fight them. Just gotta pay them and drive slower.[/quote]
