Quick question on speed camera boxes

I guess you've all seen these !
So some questions

1> Do they flash ? when they take the picture or are the infra-red
2> IF they don't flash does that mean there not working ?
3> Do they have a "speed tolerance" so how much over the posted speed
4> Do tickets come pretty quickly in the post

OK,

We received in the post a speeding ticket from I presume a camera.
All on the ticket looks right.

Is this the same thing as the stoplight camera tickets in so far,
you just pay and move on with your life, no penalty points and no notifying your insurance,

Letter sent to registered owner, but other than a police stop, whose to say who was ...

question on changing lanes....

Hi,
Quickie, if I am driving on a 3 lane (or 2 lane) road, can I change lanes in the middle of an intersection, if there is no other traffic, i.e. I can do it safely ?

I was told not (I was having a conversation with a friend)? because it's dangerous ?

Thanks

HI Gents,
A question of malpractice I want to say, hope you can offer some guidance,
as this is the internet

the crux is this

2021 The report was correct as 6 years later I had a heart attack, near fatal

In 2015, doc did not disclose results said all was good, so I did not have a ...

If you had hit my car and run, i.e. "hit and run" I would certainly reported it to the police and given them dashcam. In fact the same thing happened to us, a neighbour ran into our car parked and sped off, I called the police on them.

Re: Is the U-Turn legit? For some reason I get honked at here trying to perform this U-Turn in Kitchener.

Another thing which grinds my gears, is people who are in a Left turn lane and realize, it's the wrong one and then try and pull into the right lane, especially if it's 3 lanes of fast moving traffic. ONCE again, turn left and navigate around, you didn't pay attenuation, don't cause an accident because you can't drive

Just my IMHO, I hate people who do u turns at intersections, when you have on coming traffic in 2 different directions especially, You have to clear on coming and often traffic merging from the left. Turning right is a pain and you don't get along time. Turning right SHOULD be for turning right, not because you forgot you forgot your turn 2 ...

no it wont :) there is a delay but eventually you'll get it. but of course you may get lucky, does that thing apply (forget what it's called) if you don't get charged within a reasonable time the courts fault, you get out of the ticket. speedy trial

Re: Received a Speed Camera Ticket - a couple of questions

Are you talking about a "GATSO", like a stationary dumb camera which uses radar/lidar or strips in the road. I don't see that an officer actually stopped you.

Is that not treated like a red light camera ?

They don't know who was driving, so fine but no conviction ?
Do they have a picture from the front with the driver ?
