Flashed at under 30mph!!!

I going past a speed camera today at just under 30mph (30mph limit) and was doubled flashed! I go past the same camera every day of the week and have done for years, so am always particularly concious of sticking within the limit.

I was not exceeding the limit so was shocked that I was flashed. There wasn't anyone else around or coming in the opposite direction so I'm at a loss as to why it went off. I am 100% sure that I was under the limit so it's either been set very low to freak out drivers like myself or it's faulty.

So what should I do now? Wait and see or do I report a faulty speed camera? Any thoughts?

Sometimes people going fast in the other direction can trigger them off, that's probably what happened...

wait and see and if you get an NIP insist on the picture

No harm in a quick email to your local "Motorist Fleecing Unit" and the call to the local police station.

And, as Patch says, wait to see if a NIP arrives.

Mind you, if it is faulty they'll be inundated with "alleged offences" and that in itself will cause them to Think! (pun intended )

These things occasionally go a bit "wonky"
Coming home the other evening in the dark, the camera on the opposite side of the road was flashing continuously

they have to recalibrate/service them regularly otherwise you can get off on this technicality...
