WTF rogue Gatso in Cardiff
 

Stuck to the speed limit whilst on a nice drive to go and get some Tesco 99 went from 40 to 30 no problem and could see a Gatso flashing cars ahead. I slowed to 25mph yes 5mph UNDER the speed limit and it goes off :wonder:

Its on the strech where there are multiple Gatsos one after the other coming in from J32.

May seem a dumb question , but whats a Gatsos

where the hell do you live, never heard of a gatso i'm moving there.:lol:
chris.:D

In the valleys boyo

Still what are they ?......Lol

Gatso - is one of the yellow stationary type speed cameras.

The one i Oakdale was replaced not long ago and someone has burnt it already, best thing for them, i'll try and get a pic of it to post.

i have seen one, not to far away thet had a tyre put around
it and set on fire, bloody hate them:mad: lazy rozzers should
get of there arse's and catch people the old fashioned way,
hiding in a layby:lol1:
chris.

Ar right, never heared them called that:wonder:

What happens is when a car in the opposite lane is going a bit fast, it sets it off.. I do it on purpose in the ambulance when on an emergency to freak other drivers out.. :)

If you leave Cardiff up North Road past Aston/Lotus Garage and Currys, feather the loud pedal and FLASH goes the camera on the otherside. :thumb:
Like Zippy said freaks other drivers.........but fun. Particularly good when it's dark and wet.

The one by the Lotus garage is dodgy as well, have seen that go off on its own with no cars passing either way ????

It's picking up cars in stealth mode... :)

Nah, I reckon its just set to randomly go off every 30 seconds if it hasnt caught enough people in the past few days in the hope it makes them a few quid.

Bloody EMS drivers! :lol1: Had to stop half way through a red light in Bristol yesterday to let an ambulance through while i was in the lorry. Was shatting myself incase the trailer set off the jump the light camera. This happened to one of our other drivers and when he phoned to explain they didn't want to know and still fined him £60 with 3 points....B*STARDS!!! :mad:

Ooopss.. wouldn't happen here, of course I couldn't possibly comment about my colleagues over the border.. :norty:

I like it. Look on the ABD website (I think that's the one) and see the photos of the "customised" ones. Always brings a smile to my boat.

Don't get caught stealing. The government hate competition!!!!:thumb: :D

the one in Oakdale was burnt out the same night as it was put there!!

How Gatso's should look (picture taken with my new phone, nokia N80):
