Truvelo cameras use pressure strips on the road (3 white strips) right in front of them and catch you coming towards them, they also look very different to Gatso's: Truvelo cameras are absolute cunts :( One of these got me in Manchester.

Do they still work if the lines aren't there? :look: Only asking because there's one near me and the lines have been covered up :lol: They still work, the law used to dictate that there were two individual pieces of evidence to prove you were speeding, I dont think this is the case any more.

	They mostly use infra-red so the flash is very subtle. If its been more than 28 days since it happened dont worry about it.

	if its a gatso facing you i think that your ok. truvelo get you facing and going away i think. but stoke on trent ones all gatso iirc so you should be ok mat

	Normal yellow ones that flash, if its on the other side of the road facing you and doesnt flash until you are completely level with the camera have you been caught? I may or may not have creeped above the limit when about half way through the lines. I was always led to believe that if it flashed in your face it didnt count as its dangerous or something lol
