Default SPEED CAMERA QUESTION.?

A mate of mine got flashed by a GATSO today,but the gatso was on the other side of the road.So it photographed him coming towards it.I thought they can only get you when you have gone passed them from behind.

all depends if it the new style digi ones that take a picture of you coming towrds you but they are on the left hand side like normal ones if it on the otherside i personaly dont think he got anything to worry about at all as loads of my m89s have set cameras of for cars travelling the other way and none of them have every got a ticket in the post

They cant prosecute you going towards it. The marking on both sides are there to stop people changing lanes to avoid the camera.

They cannot charge you because they are not allowed to flash at you as it can be a distraction.
