john, you're so serious all the time amusing: car slams gatso grim pessimism: increased risk to random pedestrians as drivers maybe avoid fines that might stop them speeding or may have lead to a ban. lighten up dude ! ( just a suggestion )

Has no one noticed that this is a Truvelo camera and not a Gatso? What's the difference? Truvelos don't flash, and take a picture of the driver's face. Gatsos do flash, and take a picture of the rear of the car. Truvelos have an obvious difficulty with motorcycles. |

How can they be sure it was a genuine accident? But then, I doubt you would damage your car just to destroy a speed camera

If that was by accident, then I'm the queen of sheeba. Still, it just proves that speed cameras don't improve road safety! |

Perhaps if the police actually had a presence other that at McDonalds eating Big Mac and 'donuts' then they'd not need greed cameras because people wouldn't be tempted to speed. Oh, and it doesn't make a difference if the car is speeding or not, if you're stupid enough t walk across the road infront of a car then you will prove Darwin right.

No, they're just piggy banks. Nothing more. Waste of space in comparison to a real human being. Or a copper, of course.... |
