There's one the other side of Taunton that flashes the wrong way.
If you're going quick enough you can get it to go off after you've passed it. Quite entertaning if there's traffic coming the other way, but probably a little mean.
Cheers,
James.

I drove towards a normal yellow GATSO scamera (i.e. in the opposite direction to the way they work) and it flashed twice - nobody else around at all.
I know there are digital types which work in both directions but I thought these were different looking and down south.
I also think I remember hearing someone saying that they can flash the wrong way, but you never get a ticket.......
Anyone else come across this???

1 week later nothing through the post anyway so fingers crossed. But if something does come, well to be honest it was probably about time...
How long do I have to wait before I know I'm clear?

This happened to me last Sunday and I was meaning to post and ask about it, so thanks.

The problem is that some NIPs don't get to the house so you can then be done for failing to provide information, apparently the postal service doesn't lose NIPs and they don't have to prove it wasn't lost... or something.
Anyway 14 days beyond that stop worrying.

The thing that pisses me off at the moment is motorbikes in SPECS zones. They can just carry on at whatever speed they want and I need to sit at 70.

Got my first SP30 last night from a mobile jobbie. 47 in a 30, but they recorded it at 43 - how nice. They were 300yds away up the road, didnt know they could do that, oh well.
Did you get done there and then or wait for the postal lottery?
