do speed camera cars get both sides

Ah, the eternal question of whether those sneaky speed camera cars capture your license plate from both sides. In Australia, it depends on the setup. Most fixed speed cameras snap you from the front or the rear, not both. Mobile speed camera vehicles often use forward-facing cameras, so if your plates are at the back, you might be safe—or not, depending on state laws and camera tech.

Some newer systems do have dual cameras to catch both ends, but it's not universal. So, if you’re wondering whether to plaster your plates front and back with duct tape, maybe just stick to the speed limit instead.
