About 2% of the Dutch wear wooden shoes every now and then . . .
That many?
Explains why they have such problems driving properly on German autobahns if they actually do wear these wooden thingies...
Hasn't anything to do with wooden shoes, Dr S. We do that on purpose. If you stop digging holes on our beaches in the summer, then we start driving properly on the Autobahn.
Deal?

Definately fake, he's driving on the left hand side of the road and the same way as the traffic on the opposite side. The video shows him going in the opposite direction of the traffic and on the right hand side of the road.
This is the way back . . according to the tower . . .

Oh, and I changed the word license into the word licenCe.
I couldn't figure out why the c has to be bold and capital, but if that's the way you Brits do it, it's fine with me...
I'll get me wooden shoes...

The pic does look like its been photoshopped a little
For sure. The eye level is too low... It appears to have been taken from a conventional human eye level, not from the high level at which a Gatso is situated, unless they are all on shot poles in Holland...
The pic was shot by a mobile speed camera, which was on the dashboard of a car. The actual taking of the picture was shown on several news programs on Dutch TV.

He made two runs, one up, one down. The video shows him driving towards the tower in the middle of the dyke and the Gatso picture was taken on the run back.tr3a said:

So who drove the car carrying the mobile speed camera and what car ws it? Michael Schumacher in the Ferrari F1? According to Roberts own site he only did one run, followed by a few donuts. The following is a quote from his official site:
"Though The Netherlands haven’t organised a Formula One Grand Prix since 1985, the authentic racing spirit immediately got everyone in grip as they watched the 24-year old Dutchman racing full throttle towards the monument at De Afsluitdijk. After having demonstrated some donuts, Robert ended his run by parking his RB2 at one of the parking lots."
I am surprised the local Safety Camera Partnership haven't realised the revenue potential at Britain's motor racing circuits and started parking up in hidden parts around the circuit to catch all those naughty drivers who are trying to entertain all the taxpayers who have financed all this speed detection nonsense in our excessive politically correct country. Don't forget. The Gatso Camera was invented in the Netherlands. The Dutch have a lot of grovelling to do for this ridiculous invention that does nothing but provide a cash cow for our hopeless anti-motoring politicians. Yes, I am emigrating soon to a country where there are no speed limits and the sun shines year round. The UK is now run by snooping jobsworths who like to make everyone's life unpleasant. What happened to this green and pleasant land that used to exist about 20 years ago ?

In fact, some speeding pics in the Netherlands are taken from even lower viewpoints, with the camera/radar unit mounted on a low tripod, no higher than 75cms.
