@ pyro
thats the thing I like about living in the states at the moment


ZERO speed cameras and few radar detector cops where I am within 300 miles. And thats pretty near Philadelphia.


you know they dont even know what a GATSO is over here.

cant be hidden like that in Scotland. They need to be painted blue with luminescent yellow and red stripes 30 feet from ANY obsticle. Plus they cant capture you head on as its self incriminatory IE it shows your face.

aye i lied, but i found it quite comical

think in wales and england it just has to be clearly displayed

which is usually right on the other side of a corner or hill

and yea, they cant capture your face either...

police round my gaff have to wear a big sandwich board and clown shoes to clearly identify them. IT'S THE LAAWWWW

Do they set the GATSOs to go off exactly at the speed limit, or do they only go off when you're say 5 mph above the limit?

depends entirely on the individual camera.

Rule of thumb for coppers is 10+ 2

Ten percent of your speed plus 2 miles per hour on top of whatever the limit is, that's the enforced limit.

ey, when the pigs dont even follow the rules then why should we :smirk:

besides, 30mph on a lot of the roads round here are way to slow

im sure the bloke who makes the speed signs is a lazy fuck
