Yes they are avoidable . But the issue is at a 3km tolerence watch your gps if you have set your car to cruise control to 100kmph and wait till the slightst down hill angle and watch that gps click over to 104kmph cruise control does not apply the brakes and don't say the are not setup near these downhill slopes because i can name 3 in 20ks of me . Also when i had my tray fitted i lost cruise control so there for i just did not want to risk taking the highway because it is so simple to go over 3kmph especially with a analog speedo.
And for a camera's purpose to provide us with safer roads has people that are doing 100kmph slam on the brakes go through at 90-95kmph when the get 100 feet of one is not safe at all.
Yes the avoidable but so is a punch does not mean it should not have been thrown in the first place.
