50 in a 40?? Truvelo Flash Capture :(

[Konan555]

A lot of people seam to say that whilst you should declare them to your insurance company, they don't bump the price up for 3.

Nah, the Truvelo's DO flash, but must have a magenta filter (this one did as the flash was purpley).

Dad's already got points and I've so far survived with zero for 9yrs, so I guess on the law of averages I am due points.

I'm surprised I've lasted this long tbh, with the amount of miles I do (30k+ a year).

Oh well, **** happens, another 9 to go

I've been flashed by one before aswell. Got nothing through the post. If you do then you are unlucky since 10% of tehm have any film in them!

[Tumble]

we were got down there by one of the digi ones... bugger

[Gr44]

Hm, I thought Truvelo's were infrared too.

I went past one 17mph over the speed limit as I was tired and didnt realize the speed limit had dropped just before and I was lucky enough not to get caught... hopefully you'll be the same.

As for the bike question - no they can't be caught as Truvelos take pictures from the front, Gatsos can obviously still get you though - and it can be hard to tell if a camera is a gatso or a truvelo until you get close.... so i wouldn't recomend trying it!

[dave87]

I wouldn't suggest trying it either tbh, but theres also the suggestion that Gatso's don't work properly on Bikes either. They both were afterall designed with Cars in mind.

Not trying to rub it in - but i think speeding in a Pathfinder is a bit worse than in a 220... I mean the bulk of the former and the superior brakes of the latter... I suppose its more fair to be flashed in the nissan

[Neo_VR]

How did it flash? was it 2xwhite flash... ala gatso but forwards?

Truvelos can also carry rear facing gatso-type cameras.. if it was one of these you may not hear anything.. ive triggered a gatso head on before and not heard anything IIRC they cant do you for it...

[Zak33]

TruVelo does flash you in the face. Did me on the A34 at night. Bright flash. Not funny.

84 on a dual carriageway. 3* and £60.

Crashing in a Pathfinder will hurt a lot less than crashing in a 220




ANd Zak... Your Chavalier can do 84?

[5lab]

apparently they only flash infra-red..

so is not visable..

are you sure you werent done by a gatso (wrongly calibrated to shoot forwards)?

[CocoPops]

They don't just flash infra red, they flash properly.... with a magenta filter

I love the way that on the internet, people will tell eyewitnesses their eyes were wrong! The cameras are on the left of the road so can only do 1 side and face the cars and flash reddish.

[Zak33]

they are, 100%, flashing in your face. Where Sair and I loved last year there was one on a 30mph bridge and I know two people done by it.

I was done in a Zafira DTi Howard, you cheeky chappy but yes...the Chavalier DID once do 84mph.

Well....the brochure said it did

Oof did you ask them for the photos or did they end up in the Daily Sport??????
