Gotta remember this is a 75ps - fast to me is anything over walking pace :wink: :lol: :lol:

Slowed down for the roadworks so don't think they could've got me there. And if they did, they'd have got the truck behind me aswell :P

I don't like speed cameras, too much waiting to see if you've been busted :( . Least there aint any fixed cameras up here in the highlands!


Once got caught on one of me bikes in the 30 limit in Inverness. They got me on their radar gun going 54mph past the cop shop :lol: :lol:
(got off with it though :twisted: )

I was told that Gatsos go off if you drive towards them at the wrong speed. I wanted to try this out. So in a 30 limit, on a very quiet road at 6:50 in the morning. I did 50mph through the zone towards the camera. Yes they go off. I was close to the white line though. Luckily I was on my Gilera and so they couldn't ever prosecute me because they cannot really identify me :P

What if you're travelling towards it as a speeder goes through the correct way and gets flashed? The camera can't discriminate if there's someone coming in the other direction. :!:

I've been flashed the 'wrong way' by a Gatso on a motorbike too.

Gatso's alwaws flash into traffic, it's a common sight but they still cannot send you a ticket. Most gatso's also have a tolerance zone of up to 7mph more than the limit.
