Gatsos cant get you when your facing them!!!



OK... you can't get a ticket but they can flash you!!! It isn't clever enough to distinguish between direction of travel, it just works on a path-length difference of emitted and reflected radar.

So, it will flash you (twice), blind you and worry you for 2 weeks, but it can't do you for speeding

I thought they were switching some cameras these days to take photos from the front and thus show the driver?

Why is it that you can't beat up a theif but you are apparently aloud to take motoring traffic control into your own hands?

If you go through a Gatso that is for the opposite side of the road your result will come through as negative figures... if they wanted to be picky they can simply measure the time between flashes and the distance you moved and do you simply by reversing the negative to positive... lets hope they don't.

Plus it is 14 days for a NIP to be send, but also allow 3-4 days for delivery... thats WORKING DAYS... so about 1 month would cover it.

Next time don't let your testosterone get the better of you and just let it go before you get into some serious trouble!!!
