speed cameras

Ok, so yesterday driving on a road that I drive on almost everyday, going through a 30 speed camera, i got flashed towards the end. 28-29mph on the speedo 46-47kmph on the GPS (I have it in km due to prefering the metres measurement when following directions.)
Now I go through this all the time, I know I wasn't speeding, as I know I'm not stupid enough as I know the road too well.
I am not sure if the car behind me was in the lines yet, so at the moment am really annoyed that this camera flashed me (if it was me.)
What do I, or should I do if I get a ticket through the post, do I appeal? and on what grounds would I do so.
This would really really annoy me if I got points for speeding, when I know for sure that I wasn't :mad:

Anyone else had this sort of situation?
cheers

If you wasnt speeding you wont get a ticket, simple.

Had a situation my self when the car next to me set one off, never got anything.

Pretty much. They'll count the number of lines you crossed aswell, which obviously shouldn't be enough to say you were speeding.

ditto, same goes if you set one off on the other side of the road, done that many a time but I was actually speeding

Hagley road cameras gone off on me three times now, triggered by some blind numpty - never had anything in the post.

I had one go off on me on a blind corner facing the other way at night whilst under the speed limit, nedless to say having a camera flash go off it my face as I rounded the corner in the dark nearly put me into the ditch.

They can't do anything anyway because he wasn't speeding, they'll just look at the two photographs and work out that he was doing under 30.
