Hi,

I was flashed by a speed camera on opposite side of road. Oncoming lane had the white horizontal markers, but my side didn't have anything.

Anyone had any experiences with this scenario?

Thanks.
 
You'll be fine as Gatso's in the UK aren't type approved for oncoming traffic.

And I've been flashed by a Gatso on the opposite side, around 3 months ago, so it's all good and you can put this one to bed, so to speak. :)
 
The chances of getting a ticket are as slim as the chances of those CHILDREN YOU MIGHT HAVE MURDERED.

YOU MONSTER :mad:
 
Thanks for the replies ;)

This is the camera:

Are you sure there wasn't another car on the other side of the road!?

Yep not a car in sight.
 
I have had this happen a few times and never had anything come through, i did find the flash to be pretty blinding though which i was none too pleased about.
 
this has happened to about 5/6 of my mates, pretty sure none of them had a ticket about it.

and that vid of the human speed camera is funny xD love how he flashes the cops at the end and tries to leg it :p

They go off if you're going towards them at high speed. They can't be used against you though. Dread to think how many shots there are of me on the A68 :P There's jus no need for so many cameras on perfectly straight roads where you can see for miles.
 
Mate of mine works for traffic and says they go off but don't worry about them.

One by me always goes off when I speed towards it!
 
Possibly because the strobe has been charged too long and it needed to discharge.

They have to have the strobe charged ready to do the good old double flash in an instant it detects a speeding car. No point in detecting a car then waiting for the strobe to charge up like on your little digicam. Car is long gone.

Just a coincidence that you were in that place at that time, unless there is a cunning plan to discharge when something passes in either lane - just to induce paranoia ;-)
 
I thought everybody did this on purpose just for ***** & giggles.
