Depends on how many fingers you are holding up as you are flashed!!!

No, but sadly it does use up some film. I've actually heard of people deliberately setting off the cameras on the opposite side of the road to waste film. Despicable

It dosent use any film up on an approach for the simple reason that there is no film in them when they set them up to flash vehciles from BOTH directions.
Its a childish scare tactic that dosent work.......ill just go out and prove it ok?

As ever you guys come up with the goods - thanks for clarifing this small point re the Gatso

[jezzaaa]

Be very careful that it is a GATSO and not a Truvelo though....the latter most certainly do get you from in front.

Not so! They are not "set up" to flash from both directions, it is in the nature of their operation that this can occur. The presence or absence of film or camera does not affect this. Nevertheless, as stated, they are not type-approved for forward-facing enforcement - Streaky
