The Speed Camera
For people who spend a lot of time driving on the public highway there are always the specter of the traffic police and expensive penalties for those of us who are unfortunate enough to get caught speeding. The police have a variety of weapons in their arsenal to do all they can to catch people who break the speed limits but the most hated by motorists is probably the speed camera.
Gatso speed cameras can be hidden at any point along the public roads although they are supposed to be used only at accident black spots. As you approach the speed camera a sensor send out and receive an electromagnetic signal which is interpreted to determine how fast you are going. If you are breaking the speed limit the camera will be activated and a photograph will be taken of you rear number plate. You will then find a letter on your doormat in a couple of weeks telling you how much you have been fined and how many penalty points you have accrued.
