what is the speed???
That’s a good question. I keep watching top gear and they have tested many different types of cars going up to 160mph, and a little bit above, and they have yet to beat the speed camera, so it’s a work in progress still, I believe.

[Middle English spede, from Old English spd, success, swiftness; see sp- in Indo-European roots.]
Synonyms: speed, hurry, hasten, quicken, accelerate, precipitate
These verbs mean to proceed or cause to proceed rapidly or more rapidly. Speed refers to swift motion or action: The train sped through the countryside. Postal workers labored overtime to speed delivery of the holiday mail.
Hurry implies a markedly faster rate than usual, often with concomitant confusion or commotion: Hurry, or you’ll miss the plane! Don’t let anyone hurry you into making a decision.
Hasten suggests urgency and often eager or rash swiftness: My doctor hastened to reassure me that the tests were negative. His off-color jokes only hastened his dismissal.
Quicken and especially accelerate refer to increase in rate of activity, growth, or progress: The skater’s breathing quickened as he neared the end of his routine. The runner quickened her pace as she drew near the finish line. The economic expansion has continued but is no longer accelerating. Heat greatly accelerates the deterioration of perishable foods.
Precipitate implies causing something to happen abruptly or prematurely: Mention of the issue precipitated an angry outburst during the meeting. See Also Synonyms at haste.
Word History: We learn from the fable of the tortoise and the hare that the race is not always to the swift, but etymology teaches us that speed and success are closely related. The Old English word spd, from which our word speed is descended, originally meant "prosperity, successful outcome, ability, or quickness." A corresponding verb, spdan, in Modern English the verb speed, meant "to succeed, prosper, or achieve a goal"; and an adjective, spdig, the ancestor of our word speedy, meant "wealthy, powerful." Except for archaic uses the words today relate only to the general sense of "velocity." The meaning "success" is retained chiefly in the compound Godspeed, a noun formed from the phrase meaning "May God cause you to prosper."

I am no expert, but my guess is that they have those cameras set so that no average car can beat them. I think I saw them test this on that show Mythbusters and if i remember correctly, they weren’t able to fool the camera at all, even with race cars.

Not sure what your exact question is but I will say that it all depends on what the posted speed limit is for that area. A lot of places are lenient within 4 mph of the limit, but some are strict to the letter of the posted limit. I got caught in a really raw speed trap in IL where the speed limit changed without notice from 70 – 65mph and I was going 72… the cop said I was going 75. I’m back in TN now, but I won’t go even 1 mph over if I can help it…

The mythbusters just did a show on this. You can not beat a speedcamera. The camera works as fast as the speed of light so there is no way to out gun it.
In the show they had a test driver hit 140ish mph and the trap still got them smack dab in the center of the photo with the mph posted on the pic and a very visable lisence plate.

hmm the questions here is what is the highest speed to prevent it from taking picture rite
so there is one way to do this
first tied the car to a supersonic jet
then when the jet flies ask em to pass infront of the camera
i bet that it wont even catch a glimpse of that car
hmm about the speed mach 1 is ok
