Hi,
Was driving on m6 yesterday and was going towards Gartree with ‘40’ matrix. Saw group of cars go under followed by bright double flash. Knew I was at 40 but double checked speedo anyway (tends to over read if anything) and went under it at 38-40. Only other car as car behind me who can’t have been going fast as was quite close to back of me. All of a sudden double flash. I know 100% I was not speeding and so scared of being penalised for something I haven’t done! Definitely double flashed though. |

The police should do a manual secondary check using the lines on the road with the photo. If there is any doubt as to the offence they should not send anything out in the post.

Isn't it possible one of the group of cars who went under was flashed instead?

Isn't it possible one of the group of cars who went under was flashed instead? They were gone (way past white line) by the time we entered it and had already been flashed which is why I triple checked my speed before even driving under the matrix and maintained under 40. When it flashed it was such a shock!! |

You'll only know for sure within 14 days (assuming you are the RK), but if you get a NIP through the post you can usually request a photograph, which may have the alleged speed on it.
I've been under a GATSO or Hadecs when it's flashed four or five times this year when I haven't been speeding. Never heard anything back. I always check and download my dashcam footage when I get back, and there's always been a car I hadn't noticed at the time in the frame, going much faster. |
