can mobile speed cameras get you while they are driving

Ah, the sneaky mobile speed cameras—those roving snitches on wheels. Yes, they absolutely can nab you while driving. These cameras are often mounted on vehicles or operated by police officers who are themselves in motion, snapping photos of your lead foot in action. They use radar or laser technology to measure your speed accurately, even when both vehicles are moving.

So, if you think you can outrun the law because the camera is on the move too, think again. The technology accounts for relative speed, meaning your speed is measured against the moving camera’s speed. Best advice? Keep it legal and avoid the inevitable fine.
