I have a problem I need a bit of help with please. I was flashed by a gatso, now a gatso generally takes a picture of the back of the car, however this one flashed whilst going towards it, but the markings are on the other side of the road although the lanes are not seperated in anyway and so are probably in the picture. Does anyone know if anything would come of this please. Thanks

 

You will be fine, they can only be used if driving away from them, providing it was a conventional Gatso

 

It was definately a Gatso not a Truvelo etc, but are there different types of Gatso then?

 

AFAIK there is only 1 gatso, they can only do you if they photo the rear of the car.

We got one down here, whenever i pass it the wrong way i always knock the astra up to about 120 and stick my finger up at it so it takes the photo

Also quite entertaining to do it in rush hour, when there's people on the gatso side of the road and i go past the other way, i do about 60 to set it off... u get people wondering why it took their photo when they are at a standstill lol

 

I have a friend whos next door neighbour does something with the gatso for a living, but he has said if cos off when you are going towards it then 9 times out of 10 there is no film in the camera, but i would not go back and find out.

 

the same thing happened to me last night
got home done some research on the tinternet
as long as it was a gatso you will not here anything about it

take a look here http://www.pepipoo.com/ loads of info

 

and then you wonder why there are more cameras appearing when mindless twats pull stunts like this.

where did you get your licence - from a fucking cornflakes packet?

 

I've seen people chuck tyres over the gatso pole, then put a milkbottle full of petrol with a wick inside the tyre.

The burning rubber + carcass detroys the camera completely!

I bet if the whole country was done in a day, the government might call it a day.

Then again maybe they'd probably purchase SPECS cameras like they have in Nottingham.
