Can a speed camera catch two cars at once?

I just got a speeding ticket based on an image captured on a speed camera, but I’m not the only one in the picture. Can a speed camera catch more than one car at a time?

Yes. Most speed cameras can catch two cars at once and are programmed to differentiate between cars that are speeding and those that are obeying the speed limit. That said, no technology is infallible, so just because you got a ticket doesn’t mean you don’t have recourse.
If you receive a speeding ticket from a speeding camera, you can request a trial to contest it based on such issues as:
  • Camera error
  • Someone else was driving your car
  • Multiple cars in the image
  • Obstructed speed limit signs
These are just a few of the reasons you can contest your ticket to avoid having it on your record. If you’re unable to have the ticket expunged, don’t be surprised if you see an increase in your

premium. Thankfully,
