OH SH*T GATSO!!!!

Please verify for me that a Gatso facing you on the other side of the road can not take a picture and prosecute you?

I'm a touch worried as i flew through one earlier, first that has ever gone off when i have sped the opposite way!

 

Ooooops!

Pretty sure they can't get you if they are facing the other way, you should be OK!

DOn't blame me if you get an NIP through the post though [:^(]

 

Are you sure it wasnt -

1. Your lights catching on the lens ?

or

2. Someone going the other way ?

As far as I know a Gatso is rear facing only, it doesnt/cant take pics of the front.

you can't get done by one facing you. usually by the second flash you're out of its view anyway

 

Second that,you can`t get done for driving on opposite side going towards it.The lines on opposite side of road are for cars etc. overtaking driving away from camera.

 

wasn't the my light on the lense-was a definant strobe flash, nothing else other than the truck in front of me-which was way ahead..

migt go for a drive tomorrow night to have a look at it...

may take a tyre

 

I got flashed by a Gatso on the other side of the road a few weeks back and have not heard anything yet.....

But since learning that if you are over the speed limit going towards it and can set it off, I set it off when I approached one and somebody was going the other way last week, making them think they've been flashed

as far as I know you can only be got with a gatso if there are lines on your side of the road

 

Pure evil!!

 

well i had lines on my side of the road doing 55 in a 30 @ 3am and it flashed me.

Never got anything for it though.

 

I got flashed by an oncoming gatso in March, and got nothing...so u'll be ok.

Its probebly just your head lights reflecting, and causing the camera to think something has gone through!

I was doin 80 on a 60 then

I was doin 80 on a 60 then @ 2am, drivin back from edinburgh airport to home (NCL), after a lads holiday in Amsterdam!!!

 

woooo hooooo go with the double posts!!

 

Agreed - can't be done for it. When I used to drive from Edinburgh to Newcastle in my lorry, I used to batter through them (the facing ones) at 75mph to set em off - just wasting bulbs and film

 

Yup they don't get you, i did it the opther nite and just to confirm this is with lines on BOTH sides of the road.

Also to confirm, the road angel never goes off for when its on the otherside of the road, pretty pointless if they did get u and the road angel never told you about it!

You will be fine!

Just set them off all the time to fool other drivers to thinking they got a ticket! LOL!

 

gatsos cant get you if they face towards you, but truvelos can

 

set the ones facing me off all the time.

i like to think im providing a service to the general public by protecting them from potential fines and points

 

LOL DAMN right!

 

so hang on let me get this straight, if theres a GATSO on the otherside of the road to you and you bomb through it you don't get a ticket, even if there are the lines on both sides of the road?

 

Yes
