I noticed one of the normal speed camera's (those big square gatso's) got replaced by this one recently :



Not seen them anywhere before yet, can they still only flash you from behind, or can these also catch you coming towards them (like in most European countries) ?

looks just like a digital speed camera to me? No film but relies on a 3rd party to process the info (eg Bt)_think that's why they are currently turned off in Somerset as they don't want to pay BT to process?

Whenever I see one of these, I think what a super target it would make for a sniper rifle!!! Didn't a lot of speed cameras in the States meet a bullet riddled end ?

Na seen a couple of those on my travels, nothing new they have been around for 2-3 years. They still burn like an ordinary Gatso too.
