i thouht they needed the white lines as reference point.

you know the whole triangle thing, distance divided by time equals speed or some bollocks.

probably wrong, been nearly ten years since college.

Fair play to you- we all know they're robbing cunts but at least you've asked the question and no what to do.. rather than stringing this thread out asking if theres any chance you will get off as the moon was in alignment with the planet dave.

Might as well accept it pal. The laser gun needs no point of reference, even the old Gatsos didn't.

I was free of point til the other month and I got caught by a van so sent off my licence. Should be back with a fresh 3 points sometime next week Robbing scum

There are legal challenges which are VERY succesful, there is a website dedicated to this, will dig it out for you, but if I forget PM me.
As said the white lines are for static cameras which are not as sophisticated, and they are getting blown down with thermite, shit no not yet but soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
