scrote tries to fool gatso
Discussion
Just coming back on the A240 (Kingston Road towards Epsom) and as i was approaching the first Gatso (past Tolworth roundabout) at a leisurely pace (40mph limit). I notice a car speeding up behind me in the fast lane, though i half-expected him to brake sharply for the camera. Except he doesn't. In fact he goes flying past me (at i'm guessing a good 15-20mph faster) and cuts across the front of me in the inside lane just as the Gatso double-flashes. I have no doubt in my mind the chav scrote deliberately did this, and i'm now wondering whether i should have purposely blocked his progress - though i imagine the traffic police will take a dim view of this type of action.
Fecking hate this stretch of road - full of retarded chav scrotes in their shitty corsas & peugeot 106s - and not ONE police car in sight - ever.
will the scamera operator notice the chav scrote? will an NIP be sent my way? .. i'm dreading this as i'm already on 3 points and will definitely contest this.
It is quite easy to prove mathematically your speed, so don't worry.
It is also highly unlikely this game paid off....but if they were false plates or the driver is not middle class and paying taxes, he/she has little to worry about.
Of course, the lack of serious policing and slaps on wrists for proper criminals has led to such an aura of stupidity.

If I was running the speed camera business behind this device I'd send you both a NIP and hope you'll both pay up, obviously if you can prove your innocence (which I'd make difficult for you by threatening court action and larger fines if you ask for the "evidence" ) I'd have to "let you off" via that annoying "not having broken the speed limit" loophole and give up on the 60 quid.

I agree with that.It is also highly unlikely this game paid off....but if they were false plates or the driver is not middle class and paying taxes, he/she has little to worry about.

You won't hear anything as long as you were under the limit. What they do is work out the distance travelled between the two flashes, so that can work out an independant speed of you and the other driver.

why do assume that the timer for 'two flashes' may be a bit slow, it is part of the camera system, and is as precisely metered as the speed detection system, the reason the markers are there is in this case to distuinguish who was actually speeding, and will clearly show which car is further ahead on the second flash. don't worry about it.
Why do you assume that the two flashes are precisely metered? I've never seen or heard of independent verification of this.In fact, AFAIK, they're calibrated annually - and they don't use atomic clocks IIRC.
