Ok guys i know its been done to death and i apologise but ive just been flashed by a camera whilst i was on the oposite side of the road. I was on a duel carrigeway (40mph zone) with a grass central divider at curb hight. The camera was positioned on the other side of the road on the far left. 2 lanes away.It flashed me as i overtook someone hitting about 55mph. But as i looked in my side mirror there was a car on the other side of the road, couldnt tell how close, but it looked as though he had just past the end speed line on the road. There were no white lines on my side and the second flash hit me in my drivers window, so do any of you think it was me or the other car.

Cheers guys it got me wondering now.

If it was a standard Gatso and it took a photo of you as you were driving towards it, your'e ok. Normal Gatso's are'nt calibrated for forward facing photos so they can't do you.

Truvelo ones(the ones with the red lenses) are calibrated for forward photos and so you can be done by them.

Cheers Neil that put my mind at rest. It looked as though it was a normal Gatso camera.

Cheers
