Do mobile speed cameras work at nite? radar detectors ...

[lover8boy]

Does anyone know if the mobile speed cameras, the handheld ones, work at nite? I usually get my speed fix late at nite so have been wondering about this.

does anyone know if radar detectors work in sgp, like the ones in the usa valentine one, escort, bel, etc.

Yeah they do.

Personally got caught once, i wasn't the one driving.

Laser doesn't require light to operate.

but they have to flash you to get the number plate right? so you would know!?

not referring to the stationary cameras with flash like the one along the pie/bke but the HANDHELD ones without flash. normally operated by a cop sitting near bushes along the road or installed in their car.

Yes they still use flash to get ur no. plate but you will not notice it at all. The flash is Infra Red.

so do metal numbering plates/chrome letters affect the infra red?

Not sure. But it works like the night vision. IR will magnify the dark spot and show the edges well.

So I gather if the no plate light is bright enuf, the metal fonts will reflect more light and perhaps the image will be a big clustered white spot??

*** sigh ***, getting harder to enjoy a bit of speed nowadays. I am sure nobody wants to advocate speeding, esp in tiny, build up singapore but lets be honest, the feel of the car coming together, suspension, engine, exhaust, etc and maybe playing with the gearbox, be it a steptronic or stick, is intoxicating.
