    Speeding

    Right, driving home last night at 5am up near the middle of town. Half asleep but notice this speed camera. Its one of the ones that take a picture of the back of your car. Anyway, I was driving towards it with it facing at me. Therefore it would be flashing anyone on the other side of the road. Well, needless to say, I slow down a little anyway. Think its a 30mph zone, I was doing around 40mph because it was late and I wanted to go home and also I didn't think it would flash. Well it did. Once as I was very close to it and again after I had actually passed it. The thing is, it was facing the other way so the second flash could not have caught me. Anyway, I couldn't believe it. It must have been me because there were no other cars on the road. Was the camera setup wrong? Will I get anything from the 5-0? Can I be done by a rear flashing camera that takes a pic of the front? :xmas36:

    No it was the one coming into town by caffyns on upperton road. Flashed once as I was just infront of it and the second as I had past it. Left me proper confused because I thought back flashing cameras should be looking at the other side of the road.
    I can see the pics now.

    see if you can find it on google, will tell you what type it is.

    i'm certain Gatso's take pictures of the back of your car.
