Have you ever been flashed by a speed camera?

smokeyeyes

yes four times. But if you weren't going very fast you'll be fine. You can contest the ticket. Maybe the bloke was just testing it?

I got flashed by a flasher. He was very well built I could not help myself I had to look.

Yeah I was doing over the speed limit not by much but the camera was on the other side of the road. I never got a ticket or letter or anything. Things when your a new driver do worry you but I assum that if you were doing no more than the speed limit the you will be absolutely fine and nothing to worry about. These speed cameras I think are a waste of tax payers money to get them there and then it don't bloody stop if you get fined aswell. Shame they couldn't fine the more guilty people!!!

Come to Ireland and swop your UK licence for an Irish one, then you can drive through the cameras with impunity at any speed you like.

Yes but never heard anything.. A lot of the older cameras use film which runs out, and is too expensive to replace. So the flash only acts as a deterrent,,, Newer cameras have discs or hard drives, so a flash means a warning at least.

If you were under the limit,don't panic.Speed camera's allow for the speed limit plus 15%.So you can do 35 in a 30,with no worries.Also camera's do random flashes,I think it's a diagnosis thing.
Don't worry.Honest.

If you wern't going over the speed limit you wont get a ticket, even if the camera flashed.

Nothing to worry about!

Meeeee!

if you were under the speed limit you have nothing to worry about.
He may have been a maintainance guy testing it or something.

I did get "flashed" shortly after they installed photo radar in our city. There was an article in the paper describing the legalaties and how to get out of the ticket. I followed the instructions from the paper, claimed my car was being serviced that day and it wasn't me driving the vehicle. I never heard back from the police dept.
By the way, are you sure it was a "speed" camera? Could it be for running a red light? I have read about people complaining they were photographed incorrectly for 1 infraction, when in fact it was for a different infraction entirely. Speeding vs. running a stop light, for example.

Yeah I got flashed by a guy under a camera with a fluorescent green jacket on, the camera flashed and he was signalling as if to say 'slow down'. I worried about it for ages but wondered whether they might have been doing some kind of traffic survey or something as I never got a ticket

Alan AKA EvilWeezil

yes was under the speed limit and never got fined or anything if you was under the limit you will be ok

bleeeepme

Yeah, but I never got a ticket though, probably because I made it across the intersection before the light turned red. If it isn't your fault, they will usually just disregard it.
