Its all to easy to get lost in the moment.
But worth getting so extra tuition to increase your observation skills .
If you missed the 30 + the camera signs and the camera , it might be something more treating next time.

Did the camera get you from the rear ( ooh Matron ), or was it one that renders bikes immune by taking pics of the front plate?

I've been done twice by speed cameras, for 36 in a 30 and 48 in a 40.
So I don't think your equation applies to all speed cameras.
