Around 4.00am this morning, I think I was flashed on the M25 near Junction 18, but the variable speed limit wasn't on and I was going under 70mph. Is it possible the camera could be faulty or could it have been a flash from the other side of the motorway as I glanced in my side mirror and saw the variable speed limit was on the other side. The only thing is it was a pretty big flash, but I can't understand why it went off if it was me.

If above is true, why even think it was you ?
Chances are it was on other side, flashes can look quite bright in the dark at 4am.

That was my initial thought, but I wasn't sure if a flash in the other direction would be bright enough for me to see it as I was passing under the gantry.

Depends on ambient light and relative positions but IMO far more likely then you being flashed when under the limit.
I've seen them on other side on a lit motorway lighting up whole road for a split second.

Put it out of your mind, if something appears post up in the speeding forum, given what you have said should be sortable.

I've had this happen to me when I know as a fact I was driving within the limit. It's not clear why this happens but it happens.
