Just because there is a central reservation between you and the speed camera van, you can still get caught!

Apparently its a pub myth that a speed camera van doesnt look over the central reservation, wish I'd known that lol:cry:

You can make gatso cameras flash if your close enough to the other side of the road and going a bit, won't get a ticket though.

Yeah they aren't Gatso. Does pay to know how they all work if you do miles.

63 in a 50 (glad I slowed down) so yes I can but it all depends if its offered. 1 more mph and it wouldn't be an option, currently have 3 points for exceeding goods vehicle speed limit and they made a big difference to my insurance so 6 points will probably shaft me, really hoping I get the course lol
