Gatso's do flash sometimes for oncoming traffic, especially if your towards the centre of the road a bit, but you cant be prosicuted from it. They need a pic of the rear of your car, and the markings on the road. | |

got flashed by one facing me ages and ages ago, it flashed twice, we were speeding and i havent heard a thing since, id guess you are fine mate. As from what ive been told if it flashes twice, they are loaded, if it flashes once, you got away with it | |

Yeah you could be right Paul, I think they are a bit temperamental. I was probably doing less than 60 to be honest, probably a bird or a squirrel that set it off! | |

Suprised it flased at only 60 in a 50, I always thought that they flashed going the other way if u were doing excessive speed e.g. 70 in 40... | |

Nice one Vibs, you have confirmed what I thought. The timing marks were not on my side of the road so the 2nd piece of evidence isnt there (they measure how far you travelled on the marks between the two flashes). | |

i know a camera that goes off for no reason, even when no one is driving past it | |

if your going towards a gatso then your fine. it will be a dumby camera. the only ones that take you from the front are specs cameras and trofelo ones which have round holes not square like gatos. they also don;t flash | |

Flashed once and sometimes means you got away with it twice and usally you've been caught BUT I have been caught and the camera might not have had film in it cos I've never heard anything.... | |

You were doing 10mph over the speed limit, so it's likely you will be receiving a letter through the post. | |

I was driving towards a GATSO (grey one with markings on road) this morning, I knew it was there but because it was on the other side of the road I didnt slow down (doing 60 in a 50 zone). There were no markings on my side of the road, there was nothing else on the road, but it still flashed (twice) as I went past. |
