Recently, I have observed that on wide roads, although there are few vehicles, there are always some drivers driving at high speeds, even speeding. Perhaps they are not aware of the danger, or they think they are good at driving and underestimate the potential risks of speeding. However, with the increasing number of speed measuring devices, the chance of being caught for speeding has also increased significantly. Faced with this situation, some people are trying to find a solution. They think that since the speed measuring point is fixed, if you accidentally exceed the speed limit, can you quickly glance at the speed when approaching the speed measuring point, and if you find that you are speeding, you can immediately step on the brakes to slow down, so as to avoid being caught? But does this really work?
How does the speed measuring device accurately measure speed?
The speed measuring camera, whether it uses radar or laser technology, is based on the transmission and reception of beams. When a vehicle enters the monitoring range of the speed measuring radar, the device will emit radar waves or laser beams to the vehicle. These beams are reflected after encountering the vehicle and captured by the camera. By analyzing the time difference between beam emission and reception, the device can accurately calculate the speed of the vehicle.
So, what is the effective monitoring distance of the speed measuring device?
Generally speaking, the effective distance of the speed camera is about 10 to 60 meters, and the maximum is no more than 60 meters. The monitoring distance of the radar can usually reach 100 to 200 meters. It should be noted that although the radar can monitor farther distances, the final judgment of speeding behavior is still based on the effective distance of the camera. Therefore, as long as you make sure to reduce your speed to within the specified range 60 meters away from the camera, you can usually avoid being caught.
How to deal with the speed measuring device properly after seeing it?
When you catch a glimpse of the speed camera while driving, the key to avoiding being caught speeding is to slow down in advance. The sooner you start slowing down after discovering that you are speeding, the greater the chance of successfully avoiding being caught. Generally, if you are speeding moderately, it is enough to start braking slowly when you are about 150 meters away from the camera. But please be aware that sudden braking on the highway can be dangerous, so slow down smoothly.
Whether on busy urban streets or empty highways, speed limits must be strictly observed to prevent speeding. Speeding not only endangers one's own safety, but may also be captured by speed measuring equipment, causing unnecessary trouble. Therefore, we call on every driver to drive safely, control the speed reasonably, and jointly create a safe driving environment.
In our daily driving, we often encounter speed cameras on the road. They are like invisible traffic police, always capturing speeding on the road. So, is there any way for us to cleverly avoid the capture of these speed measuring devices? The key is to slow down in advance. Usually, the effective monitoring range of the speed measuring camera is about 60 meters. As long as we reduce the speed to the specified range within this range, we will not be caught. Therefore, when we see the speed measuring equipment on the roadside, we should stay calm, release the accelerator in advance, brake gently, and let the speed naturally decrease. In this way, even if there was speeding before, the speed can be controlled within the legal range near the speed measuring point to avoid being caught. But please note that during the deceleration process, it is necessary to ensure that the rear vehicle has sufficient reaction time to avoid rear-end collisions caused by sudden braking.
In addition, it is particularly important to slow down in advance when driving on the highway. Since the speed is relatively high, taking deceleration measures in advance can more effectively control the vehicle dynamics, thereby reducing the risk of speeding. Generally, after seeing the speed measuring device sign on the roadside, you should immediately start to slow down. Please remember that traffic safety always comes first, and it is the responsibility of every driver to abide by traffic rules.
