    Mix the two for a lethal cocktail - happening all the time, on a road near you!

    UK cameras take 2 pictures 0.5 seconds apart so that in court, they not only have the radar speed but you can also work out the speed from the difference between the two pictures. There are often distance markings on the road.

    Last I saw on top gear test was that driving a car past a gatso at 170mph, then it simply failed to go off at all - no mention of being out the frame for the second shot.
