Default Re: Flashed by a camera last night- front facing

If it helps put you mind at rest, someone i know (ahem) steams through there most days and has never had a problem, even with the occasional flash from the front-facing camera.

Would suggest you slow up for the rear-facing one tho

However if you are a repeat offender and they do catch you on a rear facing they run the pic through a database of bikes that have sailed through forward facers for matches and might summon you to court if they have some evidence.

Or so I heard...not sure how reliable the source of that ifno was though...
I just bear it in mind and avoid going through them for the sake of it.

I have been riding through a camera for five years making it flash. Its a 30 zomne and I have been prob 2 times (maybe 3x) that and never had a peep. haha i use the finger sometimes!

front cameras / dark visors = we win!

If I remember correctly, the particular camera is on trial at the moment- could just be some new technology they're testing...

Though, in fairness, there was a rider convicted doing the same either last year or the year before and they did catch up with him in the end...

Yeah, I've never seen that type of set up anywhere else. Did try and find out more when it was first installed, but didn't really get any concrete info about it, just lots of idle forum speculation!
