Thats where photo radar will get you, as Eaglefeather was alluding to. In Edmonton (where I live), we have three photo radar units, they set up on the front bumper of car/van/truck and sit on the side of the road, you go over the prescribed limit and it takes a picture of your license plate, couple weeks later you get it in the mail, pay the ticket but there is no demerit points. Everyone in a speeding pack will get the ticket.
To avoid the tickets of photo radar, laser, trailing cops, speed gates, there is only one sure fire solution to not getting a tickets, it does not cost anything, is reliable, is reusable, is legal, is available basically everywhere. What is it, why its driving the speed limit silly (or lower depending on the actual road conditions).
Speed limits are there for a reason, granted some areas have ridicously low limits for the road conditions but the premise behind a limit is valid. Speed kills, you perception time and reaction time are relatively constant, so you travel farther before you can actual start to stop. Additionally the faster you go the more momentum, the more kinetic energy you have to dissapate before you can stop.
