Got off the M69 onto M6 heading towards Brum last night and three lanes where closed shortly after so got behind a lorry in the outer lane (doing under the speed limit of 40) and gantry cam went off! Any idea if they where flashing the lorry? Do these gantry cams flash lorries who might be in the wrong lane?

I'm keeping the footage just in-case.

Certainly you're not in any danger - 29mph maximum.

On replay it looks like I was underneath the gantry at the time of the flash so it got the lorry in-front of me for some reason? I guess they won't prosecute the lorry driver for being in the outer lane as there was roadworks at the time? Can a gantry cam discern if a lorry is in the outer lane and zap him?
 
I know these gantry cams can flash someone who is in a closed off lane but not sure if it can zap a lorry who is not supposed to be in the outer lane. Deffo did not zap me as it lit up the back of the lorry on the first and second flashes.
