    I got papped by an unmarked GARDA gatso one night recently, i was barely going over the limit in an industrial area on the outskirts of the town at 11.00pm ish, but did get a flash from the camera. This was about 3-4 weeks ago but I haven't received a fine. Not sure what to do next, did they let me away with it or what's the story?

    It was definitely the garda Unmarked gatso as opposed to the private company survey vans.

    You would have only got away with it if you went back and burned it after the flash.

    barely over the limit on your speedo probably means you weren't over the limit at all. Don't worry about it until it happens!

    They have quite some time to send the letter. I think I was nabbed myself last week. Was in a 60 zone that dropped to 50. I was doing about 54 on my speedo, passed the van in the bushes, no flash ( that I saw ) but have convinced myself I just got my first ever penalty points. Oh well if I have gotten them, then so be it I was aware I was over on the speedo so tough. The road wasn't busy, just about 3 cars on it total so I wasn't braking, just gradually slowing.

    if you are papped by a garda sitting in an unmarked car and you get your fine in the post and it shows your car number, does the garda take a full snap to show the driver.

    I was snapped on my way to the bmw meet back in august.. light flashed and all and I was doing about 110kph in 100kph zone..no sign of a fine yet though so reckon I might have been let off with it.
