It's BS. I've seen several variants to the theme.

This is wrong for starters. The numbers that I've come across from not
only Shane and Spooky but also an official RTA representative who was
asked
what the tolerance was by a local radio station indicate that the minimum
bookable speed in NSW is at least limit+10%+1km/h. IIRC, the RTA official
stated the fixed cameras in NSW worked to limit+10%+4km/h as the starting
point for infringements.

However, it is possible to fight a large number of identical infringements
over a short period and have it reduced to a single infringement of the
highest of the set.

Not familiar with where these are on the Pacific Hwy.

The ones on the F3 were explained here by Jeremy some time ago.
First camera takes a photo of the limit showing on the first overhead
gantry when a vehicle is being photographed on the standard single camera
at the 2nd gantry.
IIRC, it's the faulty camera from the Spit Road debacle relocated...

Complete and utter crap. Absolute minimum for infringement is still
limit+10%+1km/h = 45km/h.

This is quite funny for anyone who knows what the MoT does...
They license public vehicles - taxis, hire cars and buses. Nothing to do
with speed cameras!

I wonder whose numbers these are...
