Got flashed by a camera tonight

[Sam]

As above, set them off all the time. Normally if you set it off going towards it, by the time it flashes you are past it and you see the flash in the rear view.

I wasn't carrying that much speed

Yes I got through them all the time but at the same time it does have something to do with the lines down the centre of the road as some of them can get you I recently see a picture on whorebook nice front end view with drivers mug shot fresh from DVLA il find it and post it when I'm not on my phone

It is not a legal requirement to show camera signs. Terminals, repeaters and street lighting in appropriate (i.e 30mph) areas is considered sufficient.

Indeed, but no camera can flash you front on. It could cause you to crash, therefore negating its 'safety purpose'

Sorry mate but that's wrong whoever told you that made it up! following picture is photo evidence that some cameras will get you from the front like I said earlier some do some don't

That's not a Gatso. That will be a Truvelo or the like.

Rear facing cameras that flash CANNOT get you coming towards them the wrong way. Not only that, you've gone past it by the time it flashes the second time anyway normally! I've done it countless times and never got a ticket. Only once when they turned the camera round and I felt like a massive tit. 3 points and a 60 pound fine. Although we didn't know who was driving the courtesy car at the time. 

But yeah front facing cameras do exist.

I also liked going through these with no front plate on the car.

You are misreading my post. No front facing camera will flash you, if it does it is not a front facing but a rear facing speed camera. All front facing cameras use an infrared flash as its illegal to use a full flash.

This does make alot of sense, if you look at the orignal link you can see the valley that you drive over just before the camera. It was nine at night, blowing a gale and raining sideways at the time. On the bridge there are a couple of 'windsock' signs. This somewhat explains but not excuses why I wasn't concentrating on my speed, just trying to keep the car on the road and get across the bloody thing. As stated previously the camera was invisible until it flashed twice when I was 'on it' so to speak.
