oh, the ones I'm talking about were not easy cases--they were appellate cases, which simply dwarf the costs of even a bad ticket. They resulted in procedures such as you describe.

Early on, the machines simply issued citations. And then a couple of city councils actually discussed shortening yellow lights, and projected the additional income . . .

The one I'm waiting for is here in Las Vegas. The city has someone who spends part time handling so-called appeals of its parking tickets. No appeal from this person, and no way to get judicial review at all--which violates basic constitutional protections on administrative law.

I've toyed with doing it, but I don't see how it could ever pay off, given my retired status. For that matter, I didn't see a payoff while still practicing--I'd be a short term courthouse hero, and then it would be gone, after doing tens of thousands of dollars of legal work!

gosh, my wife's '25 lariat over detects them!

I understand that it doesn't have a good way to process "when children are present", but the warning blinking goes off. And I don't think Maverick does it, but there are some f-150 modes that reduce speed in response to signs--which could produce sudden and hard unexpected braking!




I believe at this point all of the auto-issue ones have been struck down. A human of some level of training must make the actual decision.
One weird thing I've noticed: As soon as I exit a school zone, it automatically switches from electric to ICE mode.

Apple Maps and Google maps speed limit when navigating. the signs are clear and easy to read.

Waze shows it all the time and has configurable alarms for speeding (e.g. 5 over, 10 over, etc.) the sign is small, more difficult to read and in the upper right corner of the screen, which is even further from the driver in a 25

I know you could get speed limit recognition on the dash with the 22-24 Mavericks using Forscan, not sure if the 25s can or not.
One of the members posted a YouTube video that he made to do just that on the 25 model. I'm planning on doing it to my 25 XLT as soon as I order my interface cable, I've already downloaded the Forscan onto my laptop.

Or people could slow down in school zones.
the problem is that they're only school zones a couple of hours a day.

Due to recto-cranial inversion, we have school zones where some idiot put schools on major arteries, three lane/direction 45 zones . . .

We also have school busses stopping in such areas, instead of pulling to the low traffic residential street around the corner.

For that matter, thirty-five years after the ballot to provide the tax for them was approved, we still have busses stopping in traffic lanes on major streets (e.g., Las Vegas Blvd!)

Yup. There is a really easy way to avoid those speed camera tickets. Don’t speed.
Amen, Amen. I slow to posted speed limits in school zones, and soon have a trail of impatient cars behind me - probably calling me several names Mama always said Not to say. Lol.

OK, downloaded Wayz app .... can confirm Wayz speedometer will turn red and show speed limit when you exceed limit. Just shows you speed when under limit. This was during normal driving with no destination inputted. It's on the bottom right of screen, would be nicer on top left.... but hey, I'll take it.
