This morning I was double flashed at on the M3 by the same camera whilst doing 72 or maybe even 73 mph. The double flash went off went off a second or two before I even went past the camera. There were other cars around me, but I’d say that I was doing a couple of mph quicker than them all. Does anyone know what this means?
This particular camera has flashed a couple of times before that I’ve seen when I’ve been a little further back. So I have a few questions as I’m getting quite worried about it because I haven’t been driving for 2 years and am scared that I may lose my licence for this as I rely on my car heavily to get to work and back. What sort of penalty would I be looking at for this providing I have been caught speeding. Thanks! |

That excess would see a course offer or, at worst, 3 points £100.

QUOTE (TB011195 @ Wed, 8 Aug 2018 - 07:26)  The double flash went off went off a second or two before I even went past the camera. If the (rear facing) camera flashed a few seconds before you had past it, then it's difficult to imagine how you triggered it. -------------------- |

So are all speed cameras rear facing then and can’t be triggered from the front before you go past it? |

Some SPECS are forward facing but don’t flash.
Motorway setups that flash only as passing... Only a 14 day wait for the registered keeper will confirm for sure. -------------------- RK=Registered Keeper, OP=Original Poster (You!), CoFP=Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty, NtK=Notice to Keeper, NtD=Notice to Driver

Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully the light was just flashing and I was unfortunate enough to be passing by when it did!

Speed camera lights don't flash like a beacon. Someone triggered it, but if you hadn't reached it it can't have been you. As already mentioned, a 14 day wait to be sure. -------------------- |
