Wow, what kind of car were you driving? No, the camera will not catch you.

193 MPH IS NO JOKE!!!

BUT

Mythbusters did an exhaustive test on the photo radar and only the nitro funny cars could go fast enough to blur the photo, unless you are running speeds in excess of 280 MPH I am afraid you can expect a LARGE ticket in the mail if not law enforcement at your door...

File a police report that your car got stolen. Park your car some where and have the police to find it. This might work!

I dunno man that's pretty fast I would assume it'll just be a blur at those speeds, 312 kmh aint no joke.
If it did catch your plate then I would seriously worry, your looking at stiff penalties (jail, impound, suspended license, etc)
Just have your lawyer on speed dial just in case the sh*t hits the fan.

Here is someone doing 320km/h though he was on the German autobahn, supposedly (could be Mexico for all I know ) a non speed limit part.

It might have flashed, but doesn't mean it cought you. That BBC vid mentioned that over 170mph, it was not caught...hopefully this is the case with you also.

I got clipped three distinct times in Washington D.C. a few years ago as I never seen the flash, but when the tickets came in the mail, three different times I slowed my a** down when driving thru DC. But now, I'm more aware of where they are. your going to get a big hefty ticket in the mail.

Best thing to do if it comes to you is to be honest and DO NOT cover a lie with another lie. You did the speed so be prepared for the outcome. In Canada if you are caught over 150KPH they can impound your car on the spot , take you to jail and fine you $10,000CA. It is called stunt driving. I am sure there is heavy damage to your privilege to drive as well. Just be honest and don't be stupid about it. Be aware of the risks you put yourself at as well someone coming the other way that may panic and lose control. On a closed course that's fine, on the open highway where others can be endangered that is just pure stupidity.

I'm not sure about other countries, but in the US you'd have to be going over 250+ mph for it to show up blurred on the camera. At the moment i can't remember which car show did a segment on it...but they never got up to 250 mph and the camera caught ever pass. if memory serves me right according to their calculations you'd have to doing over 350 mph for it to blur the cameras. Sorry... As to the last post about cananda...maybe i've just been lucky(no comment)
