    Question Photo Radar Question

    A few nights ago I was driving on DeerFoot South.
    Right past the Glenmore over-pass, there is a little spot that the police like to use for photo-radar.
    I always slow down in that part but as I drove by the truck, another car came speeding by me.

    I was in the middle lane and he was in the left lane. I saw the flash go off. The way that my car was angled to him and the radar was such that I think I may have been in the way of the picture of the guy speeding in the left-lane.

    I'm wondering if photo-radar has some way of determining which car was speeding and in which lane so that the wrong people don't get the ticket.

    It'd suck if I got the ticket because I don't really have much of an argument. I could give them a more detailed description of the car to my left before I view the photo-radar picture (but I don't think that is much of an argument).
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    Don't worry, theres a cop in the photo radar truck/van who is taking notes and watching the road. If they can't make out the plate of the guy that was actually speeding then he wont get a ticket, and neither will you. Its not a completely corrupt system here in Calgary I dunno about our neighbors to the North in Edmonton though.

    Yes. If there is another car in the picture, you can have the ticket thrown out.

    Usually, what they will do is draw a line from the top right of the screen to the bottom left of the screen (diagonally) and the line will intersect your plate.
