No, it's true.
I am getting one for the front garden to stop pesky kids hurtling past on push bikes.
They make a lovely addition to any household, and could put up the value of your property. They could certainly help pay for it.

Someone's going to have to help me out here.
I was watching the news last night when I saw a "coming later on tonights programme" announcement.
They showed a picture of a Gatso and said they were going to discuss a leaked government memo which has "apparently" found that drivers are actually getting to like speed cameras??!!
My brain at this point could not take the obscene affrontory of this obviously fabricated pile of 5hite and I passed out.
I did not regain consiousness in time to witness this piece of comedy and so I am asking if anyone actually saw the report.
Please tell me it was the mushrooms that I was eating for tea or a bad dream.

Apparently there is such a document. But who did it ask? And which questions did it ask? Survey results can be very skewed by the questioning!
IMHO the only good gatso is a dead gatso....
Saw on down the A303 a couple of weeks ago. Someone had used an angle grinder or something to cut it off at the horizontal arm.. A big cheer went up from me...

I am getting my own one in my front garden so I can burn it down with impunity when I feel so inclined and not get my *** kicked.
Its good aversion therapy, apparently
Did anyone see that picture of the bloke in the Daily Mail who was photo'd in front of a burning speed camera? Quality.

Actually I'm not against the use of FIXED speed cameras on accident 'black spot' areas, outside schools and 30mph zones. In theory a great idea as long as the camera is clearly marked so as to deter speeding.
What really gets my back up is the underhanded way this technology is being used, NOT for road safety but as a money making exercise.
This subject has and will be a topic of debate until someone see's sense.
