i was driving home south from edinburgh today and was following another car. i saw a fixed speed camera on the other side of the road facing in the direction i had came from. i dont think the car in front or myself were travelling over the speed limit but the camera flashed twice! could the camera have been triggered by mistake? can a camera facing in the opposite direction catch you speeding? thanks for any info. ------------- REMEMBER- POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT KELLY REMOULDS E30 325 Sport - Gone but not forgotten E36 M3 evo Suzuki GSXR 750 Track Piece |

A camera facing in the opposite direction cant catch you speeding (at least I dont think it can). Has happened to me many times over the last few years. ------------- e30 325is (deceased) e36 318is under major construction E39 530D Sport mtec (all the bells and whistles ) Basic unit of laryngitis: 1 hoarsepower lesurely |

If there are not any of the white markings across the carriageway they have nothing to measure your distance travelled from anyway. -------------

Isn't this how camera vans catch the unaware speeding motorist? They sit facing you. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series! Current '13 62 F10 535i MSport Auto Previous '04 04 E60 545i SE Auto '03 53 E60 545i SE Auto (Stolen) '98 S E39 523i SE Auto |

Invasion of privacy or something or other. You could have your mistress in the passenger seat, they take a photo, your wife finds it, you get busted :D ------------- |

You might be right there Sporty. There is no flash from them right enough. So they know they have got you without you even knowing.
