Do speed cameras flash?
I was doing 50mph today when I saw a camera and a 40mph sign close to it and i think I braked to late.
My friend said it didn't flash so I didn't get done.. But I don't think they do? |

If it’s a set one at the side of the road, they flash. Motorways flash, too.
It’s more of a warning to other users that they’ll get done.
Temporary ones such as mobile police units don’t flash.
If it didn’t flash, you got lucky. |

Dunno.
There is a notorious one near me, in a 40 zone at a crossroads. I drove past it at 50mph 6 weeks ago, no flash, nothing through the door.
Some are turned off I am sure of it |

"Average speed cameras and front facing ones (truvelos) don't flash.
Conventional rear facing (Gatso) cameras do. But only if they're active. Some are just for show now. "
Ah, okay |

We have front facing in Scotland which flash.
Including the new gantry/smart motorway cameras |

"I just hope I don't get points again. For the first time recently I had 3points and when I told my insurance the price increased by £600!"
Just had the same with my first 3.. I always thought the first 3 points got ignored |

It's true unless it's a lease or company car x |

I havent heard about that. I was once stopped for not wearing a seat belt and was then asked to attend court in Blackpool almost 9 months later. |

It is 30 days, I had one 30 days after the event, thought I had got away with it but nope, thankfully speed school saved me the points. |
