Gatso camera sites are decided by the police and the county council. they are supposed to be a safety measure but as we all know, a majority are placed to make money. Mobile units are money makers. I was recently fined for driving at 34.7mph after just leaving a 40 zone and going into a 30 zone. They even knew I was decreasing my speed but still did me anyway! They hide them in the back of vans and stick a little sign no bigger than 6 inch square a few metres from the van and sometimes in the dark of night so you dont know they are there! I drive to the speed limit always but i think there should be more vax systems rather than gatso, mini gatso and mobile units(ds2's)... the tss systems are a nasty piece of work too! they monitor you over a long stretch of road and calculate your speed and upload the data for processing..
