Purely for scientific reasons hehe I happened to find myself in a vehicle whistle that was following an ambulance on blues driving up Otley Road from town a few hours ago. The ambulance was doing a good 60 from what I could tell from the speedometer in the vehicle I was travelling in, and it was interesting to note that none of the 4x GATSOs between Hyde Park lights and the Headingley BP flashed at all for neither of the vehicles passing them at twice the speed limit. spin

Perhaps of interest to you guys.. thumbup

They're not Gatsos: they're Truvelos. They do flash, but it's in the infra-red spectrum so as not to dazzle oncoming motorists.

So if you could keep us informed of the postal delivery system in the next fortnight...

Meh. You can still see those flash even in day time. The filter is only mild on them and there was definitely no flash. spin

Also, the one pictured can't be working because it has normal GATSO lines instead of Truvelo lines for speed measurement, plus it's pointing the wrong way. That one has to be 100% fake with nothing inside it. yes

So, nobody gives a fk about your pointless, irrelevant drivel. See a pattern emerging here? PH would be a better place without you.

Calm down dhead

Oh and for the record the cameras on Otley Rd aren't always on. I think they vary which ones are on every now and then.

I was referring to your rant which was frankly uncalled for.

Wow...

Really?

On the list of inappropriate responses, that one's up there. And ten days after the last posting in the thread too. Poor trolling. 2/10

How bizarre.......especially considering the posters location is given as Northants......hacked account maybe, or some previous bad blood between bomma and the OP ?

I've figured it out! spin I made a slightly tongue in cheek comment on a DIY bathroom refurb thread about the tile placement going against my OCD and it appears he took exception to it (even though it's not his bathroom) and decided to troll through my other posts looking for something else to get even more shouty and angry over! hehe

Some people take this internet too seriously! nuts

Going further up the road, I'm pretty sure the one by the Village is live, or was until recently.

Do speed camera detectors not pick up these cameras then? My old one would tell you which were switched on in Wakey and they seemed to be randomly working throughout the week. They were the old Gatso ones.

I believe Gatsos take you from behind and the Truevelo cameras flash you from the front?

Certainly has been in the past.
