Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 March 2004
368 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will detail the allowance made for possible errors in the calibration of the equipment used to assess the speed of motor vehicles by speed cameras; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7505/04]
View answerThe Garda authorities have informed me that speed cameras which they operate are calibrated to an accuracy of +/- 2 miles per hour at speeds up to and including 60 mph and to an accuracy of +/- 2% at speeds exceeding 60 mph. These accuracy standards are taken into account in operating speed detection cameras and subsequent issue of fixed charge notices.
