Check your speed on the photo by measuring distance over time.

Check the signs conform to your laws

Check the authorities were legally entitled to put a speed limit there

Check that the operator was trained in the use of the camera

Check the camera was tested against a known speed that day

Check the camera has been tested on bikes (posted by iPat)


http://www.abd.org.uk/ has useful tips from a country used to dealing with
speed cameras that might translate across the pond.

http://www.safespeed.org.uk/ also has a lot of info.
