Top Gear - How to outrun toll booth cameras

The great minds at Top Gear figure out how to avoid having your car photographed by high-speed cameras.

The camera was oriented such that the left side of its field of view nearly included the track's vanishing point on the horizon. Thus (in a flat world, with no atmosphere, and an infinite resolution camera), you could be going 1 million miles per hour and you'd still be in the second shot.

If speed cameras always have this relative orientation with the roadway, your only hope would be to get far enough away by the second flash such that your license plate is unreadable (if that would even foil the system). It's hopeless to try and get out of frame entirely.
