So what's going on here in Essex? At some of our many camera sites we have a yellow gatso pointing in the normal manner looking at the back of the traffic then a grey one facing the yellow one. Are they breeding. Is it buy one get one free? Or some thing more sinister?

Maybe the grey camera is there to protect the GATSO's from vandals!!! I hear a lot of them all over the country are being put out of action by disgruntled motorists!!!

Essex are apparently having a lot of problems with 'unidentified driver' cases, so rather than installing Truvelos, they decided that the solution was to buy a forward-facing camera to take the photo when the Gatso detects a speeding car.

There's nothing like wasting fine-payer's money, is there

Ahhh! So now, you get zapped, you cant deny that you were driving! How clear are these pictures? I ride a motorcycle and underneath my helmet, I wear a balaclava. I presume they will use my leathers for identification purposes, but my leathers are black and this is a very popular colour! My helmet is also plain black and a popular make. Would I still be identifyable?

Of course, this is all irrelevant if I am travelling towards a scamera on my side of the road as bikes dont have front numberplates so my bike can't be identified, can it? Or can these extra cameras take a photo of the rear of my bike as I pass it and set off the GATSO?

Take a look at www.gtvv6.com (thats a double v not w) and go to Forum Index > Off Topic. Is this what you are talking about? Maybe they are trying to catch you before you slow down for the Gatso?

Sorry, I should have added: look for 'Double wammy speed trap in Essex'
