We used to have a competition to see who could get the highest reading on it then brake back to 30 in time for the gatso. >
Whenever I see them my first thought is unfortunately "challenge accepted!"

When a Gatso first appeared at "The Winning Post" on the A316 near Twickenham I used to enjoy riding past at exactly 40mph then as I crossed the final measurement mark on the road would accelerate as hard as possible. The bike would still be in the range of the microwave speed sensor when it exceeded the limit by enough to trigger the unit. The double flash amused me, knowing that without the corroborating evidence from the road markings their pictures were useless. :evil
