Didn't seem to be able to find using the "search" but as my question goes is a speed camera able too "get you" if you travelling in the opposite direction to which it is pointing?One got me tonight :( I was 5mph over. (forgot the thing was there.

Nope! :)
 
It depends on what type of camera it was .... suffice to say - if it flashed you - then no (as I understand they're not not allowed to flash you in the face).
 
Tuvelos are forward facing so that they photograph the driver.
If it was a Gatso, was there a vehicle going the other way that could have triggered it ?
 
Nope! Gatso's can flash you when you go towards them!

If you appoach a 30Mph limit one at above 45Mph it will double flash, but you wont get caught.

All of the Gatso's here in Cambridge do this, I can only guess this is a warning system to sh!t you up.

Weekly I trigger them, and touch wood I still have a clean licence. - including the early hours of the morning when noone else is on the same road.


If that is what happened to you, dont worry :)

It was just a normal gatso,It was a bit startling to say the least when it flashed me in the face,bit worrying when there is white bars on my side the road tho.
