Full Version: Was I flashed?

Hello,

I think I may have set off a speed camera on the M1 travelling North between J12 and J13... but I'm not entirely sure.

I have a dash cam that records my journeys (and the nutcases on the roads), but the timing clock has gone (a common Blackvue fault apparently), so the date and speed aren't accurate on it.

Checking the footage, the angle of the shadow doesn't look right, and there were no lines on the road between the gantry and where I was flashed - was it actually a speed camera, did I actually set it off?

Thanks!

That junction is on the list for HADECS3 - they don't have lines on the road.

You'll have to wait and see if a NIP arrives.

Are you sure? I know that Derbyshire and South Yorkshire have them on the M1, but I've not heard that they're in Bedfordshire. Do you have a link source?

It could possibly explain the angle of the flash though, if it was just from the side. But how does it work without lines and why would there have been two flashes, if not to check distances between lines on the road?

Yes, they are on the side of the road - see here.

They work with dual radar.

This link has the location 'in planning'...

Only way to know for sure is whether a NIP arrives.

Look here for an example capture.

I guess I need to wait and see, but that link doesn't have J12 - J13 on it (just J13 - J19)

I don't think I was speeding at the time, but I'm aware that the hard shoulder was open and all of the gantries were set to "CONGESTION USE HARD SHOULDER" and 60, even though the motorway was practically empty.

Indeed, a 14 day wait to be sure...

I think it was from this thing; is it HADECS 3? Looks a bit different from the photos online...

It's been over 14 days, no NIP.
