1. A machine for detecting vehicle traffic offenses, the machine comprising:
- speed detection means for measuring the speed of transit of a vehicle along a carriageway by detecting the interception of a beam or field by the front or rear of the vehicle, said speed detection means being arranged on a side of the carriageway;
carriageway transverse position detection means for detecting a transverse position of the vehicle across the carriageway by detecting the interception of a beam or field by the front or rear of the vehicle, said carriageway transverse position detection means being at least partially arranged on a side of the carriageway; and
camera means for capturing an image of the vehicle, said camera means being connected to said speed detection means and to said carriageway transverse position detection means, said camera means being controlled as a function of said traverse position.

10. A method for detecting vehicle offenses under the traffic regulations, the process comprising the steps of:
-
measuring the speed of transit of a vehicle along a carriageway by detecting the interception of a beam or field by the front or rear of the vehicle with a detector device arranged at the side of the carriageway; detecting the transverse position of the vehicle on said carriageway by detecting the interception of a beam or field by the front or rear of the vehicle with a detector at least partially arranged on a side of the carriageway; capturing an image of the vehicle; and
,controlling the capturing of the image as a function of the transverse position. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
