Speed camera question.....

Hey guys,

Driving back down to Newcastle last evening and a speed camera flashed as I was going towards it (a1 near Berwick) and I was just wondering the legalities of this? I was under the impression that the gusto (thinks that's them) can only flash the other way?

Cheers guys.

Slighty I think, was probably doing 70 along the NSL section of the a1

thats a 60mph road mate. Near haggerston castle?

Yeah I know mate, which is why I wanted to know if I should be expecting 3points from a camera flashing the front of my car as I always thought it needed to be from the rear unless it was one of those weird looking cameras.

If it was a gatso then it won't cause any issues - I've set them off many times driving towards them, it will have only flashed once instead of twice. They're not designed to prosecute drivers driving towards them.

A truvelo on the other hand are designed to record you when driving towards them - but don't really "flash".

Sorry for the late post but currently in holland, thanks for all your replies guys and woohoo \o/

I'll update this in 14 days if anything comes of it
