when does a mobile speed camera get you

Mobile speed cameras are the sneaky ninjas of Australian roads, popping up where you least expect them. They typically get you when you're caught exceeding the speed limit, whether stationary on a tripod or in a moving vehicle. These cameras are usually placed in areas with a history of speeding or accidents, often near schools, roadworks, or high-traffic zones. The key is they don’t announce their presence with flashing neon signs—so if you're speeding, you’re asking for a fine. Remember, they can clock your speed from well before you spot them, so slowing down last minute won't save you.

In summary, they get you if you’re speeding anywhere they’re operating, which can be almost anywhere on public roads. For specifics on locations and times, check local council notices or sites like ServiceCentral.
