I know in theory it's possible but I have been in touch with a Local newspaper about the Gatso's that Dorset Partnership are saying are infallible.

Has anyone tried:

1) Two people holding rotating tin trays at a distance apart
2) Metallic object on a string
3) Vibrating metallic object
4) Any other means

If it worked get in touch quick, also if you have any evidence that a Gatso gave a false or inaccurate reading. Eg photo/radar reading difference.

As soon as it works reliably I'm going to strap a metal tray to the back of my Nitro RC car and see what I can do..

It tops out at 55mph, so shouldn't have any trouble..

I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they have to zoom in to tell what type of car it is..

Just wish it still worked.. I think I've written it off..

In fact if you attached a reg plate to the tea tray thats attached to the RC car wouldnt he get the ticket automatically?

In fact, there must be a PH'er on the edge of the congestion charging zone with a R/C car

Good question. I'd imagine he'd want to see the evidence though.. I'm not that close to Wales..
