Yes. There is a way to enable it on Premium through VCDS, but I don't know the details - you can look them up.

I am trading it in anyhow to be honest, but this just added to it.

History of the speed camera for interest, which you see why it was installed, but it doesn't say what speed or if the nature of the fatality. Speed cameras in the UK are all over the damn place and it is a matter of time before you get one. You can't concentrate on driving as there are so many of them.

Oh, are you in the UK? I didn't know that. In the US you're not likely to get a ticket for 5mph over (much less 5kph over) the limit.

Find out if those street lamp belong to the county, or the city. If its a third party, usually its not city certified which means, the radar on a cops car, is calibrated and being put tax money into it to get accurate data. thus being city certified.

those street lights are usually third party signed with the city. SO the company get a commission on your ticket. (Most of the fine goes to the city, the third party get a perentage). Also, those camera on the street light corner are usually not city certified. Talk to your lawyer, mention facts above and he can fight it for you. and use big words to the judge.

Source: my friend Zalmie is a lawyer. He fought for me couple times. Spend money on beer instead of fines.
