Re: Speed Cameras

This happened to me recently, I never got the NIP. I did a lot of research at the time, it seems like the rear-flashing-Gatsos, that flash at on-coming cars are dummy units with cheap radar detectors that can't tell the difference between a positive speed (like normal), and a negative one (driving towards the camera). Apparently a friend of my friend (who was also flashed with me) told him that he drives passed the same camera all the time speeding, and never gets caught. I think even if it did take pictures of your car, they couldn't use them because there are only lines on the other side of the road, with the whole "Error Of Parallax" thing. If it flashed, then i'm 99.99% sure it wasn't a front picture taking camera like a TrueVelo, although apparently someone people have sworn they flashed, even though they have an infra-red flash, which you aren't supposed to see.

HTH and rests your mind a little.
