 According to DutchNews.nl, the Dutch language newspaper Telegraaf reports today that motorists caught by speed cameras during a heavy frost have a good chance of getting their tickets annulled because some machines may prove unreliable in low temperatures.
David Stam of the weights and measures institute NMI tells the Telegraaf "If an instrument is approved to work in a maximum low temperature of -10 Celsius then it should not be used if it is colder".
The paper reports that Dutch speed cameras are certified to work accurately in temperatures between -10 and +40 Celsius.
