Suggest you write to the authorities and report this camera and your experience. They should be able to confirm your story. |

the camera takes 2 pictures and the speed of your vehicle can be calculated by your position in the road markings (the barcode on the road) they are a set distance apart the pictures are 2 seconds apart so you can work out your exact speed if they prosecute make sure you have both pictures |

Depending on where you live, there is a new number to dial the police when it is not an emergency. It's 101. Try it - if it's operating in your town, they'll take the details and look into it. If not, call in to your local police station and report it - have the facts ready. Place, time, date and reg number of car. Good luck! |

try and report it to the DMV of local court house. but if any thing is sent, with out a good lawyer, it will boil down to your word aginst some device installed by the city.
Your side of it will be ignored anyway |

Some of the cameras are dummies anyway, so you may not even get a ticket. Don't fret about it - you'll ruin your Christmas. Worry about it when the letter arrives (if it arrives). |

Some of the Speed Cameras always take pictures. (NOTE: Some of them are not speed cameras either!) Some of them have been put on the street for public safety! So make sure it was a speed camera and not just one that is put there for public safety! |

You will have to argue it out in court. It will be your word against theirs. It happened to me but I still had to pay the fine even though I was not speeding. |

What are you worried about - you're moving out of the country in the New Year! Are you sure it was the camera that flashed you and not someones headlights in your rearview? Not only that but not every flash from a camera results in a prosecution. |

You might as well report it.Two heads are better than one and its better to be safe than sorry. |

Some cameras will flash every time a car goes by, and only take the snapshot if your speed is above the prescribed trigger speed.
The flash is good for 50,000 flashes, so it's designed to just go off everytime. 'Sure makes you think about your speed now doesn't it? |

Sometimes cameras do that if they're malfunctioning. Don't worry, even if it took the necessary two photographs the evidence of time/distance is on the shots and you won't get a nasty surprise in the post. |

stop worrying...this has happened to me too,,i was doing under the limit behind a van when when a boy racer overtook the pair of us,,camera flashed right in my face and i thought it had got me as the boy racer appeared to have past it when it flashed ..i sweated for a few weeks but i never heard from anybody,if you think the camera is not working properly go to court and challenge the prosecution to prove it is,if it isnt they have no case.as you are going overseas anyway you have twice the weight on your side,if they dont deliver a notice of intended prosecution (an NIP) before you leave all traffic related offences are Statute Barred after Six Months anyway.if they dont get to serve it they cannot "do" anything at all after six months have past....so enjoy being abroad |

on the way home from work, a few years ago i was flashed by a speed camera. the speed limit was 40 mph, which i was doing under.
i was certainly surprised, by the flash and it did worry me a bit.
when i got home, i had a think.
i was not speeding so i would not get a speeding fine.
i never received a notice via the post.
so the only conclusion i can draw, for you is that you should not get a speeding ticket.
however, i would report your concerns about the camera to the police. |

It may be someone overtaking you who will get the fine......... if you got any fine just complain about and everything will be fine. Merry xmas |

There will be a nice picture of you not speeding. So, if you get a summons, plead not guilty. Then, when they produce their evidence (if it gets that far), they'll shoot themselves in the foot.
Footnote: were you being overtaking by someone who was speeding? Either way, you're in the clear. |

Just me

You will have to wait for a ticket to be issued to dispute it. There is no one to contact because the ticket hasn't been produced.
If you are moving abroad and there is someone who will live or continue to live at your address, then ask that person to contact you if you receive a ticket. alternatively if your father receives a ticket then you know for sure you will get one.
Sometimes the camera is faulty or not set at the correct speed. If you are flashed twice, this means you will get a ticket. If it is once then you won't be. I do not know the purpose of the single flash. |

Maybe because of the fog the speed limit had been reduced and you never noticed |

The camera may have been set wrong or been damaged. If you were within the speed limit the photo's taken will prove you were not speeding and you should not get a ticket. Two photo's will have been taken and the distance/speed calculation is taken from a point on your car over the lines on the ground. Too many lines showing and you were speeding.....fewer lines and you were not. |

Two photos are taken a set time apart. They can use the markings on the road at speed cameras as a backup system to estimate how fast you were going.
If this doesn't agree with the speed recorded by the camera then that would prove you weren't speeding. |

If you were not speeding, then nothing will happen. |
