If it was a rearward facing Gatso camera, then it works by taking 2
photographs as your vehicle passes spaced markings on the road surface.
Calculating the speed is easy......you just work out the distance
travelled and time elapsed between photos.
A motorcyclist recently had Gatso conviction quashed as speed recorded,
was double what the photographic evidence suggested to be actual speed.
Ask for the photos and work it out for yourself..............also ask
for calibration certificates for camera that took pics in your case.
