Have a look in This Guide, it contains a table of distances relative to time in seconds prior to going through a camera at the rated legal limit. The table applies to all cameras, for mobiles you might want to add an extra 500 Yards - Mike

As I wrote the 910 guide I use the 30 seconds figures in the table, the other often used figure is times ten I.e. speed rating of the camera multiplied by ten, so 30mph = 300 yards, 70mph = 700 yards, add 50% for mobiles.
Know doubt others will have views on the distance, but it looks like I am the only one up early tody Shocked - Mike

I use the times ten rule for all types and speeds between and including 30 to 60mph. For 20mph I use 300 yards and for 70mph, Temps, Vars and TBAs I use 1000 yards.
