Its illegal for them to be facing you and flash? I've seen this many times, even this evening though a local village

If they cant proscute you if their facing forward, then whats the point in them facing you, and drawing lines and adding pizzo strips in the floor?

When you say speed towards it? you on about at 35MPH? then a few metres before the white line, slam your breaks on and go through it at 30MPH?

I was flashed from behind a few weeks back. It was only ONE flash instead of 2 quick flashes.

Upon reading some forums, one flash means you wasn't speeding (i was doing 31mph), but the camera has a error, or needs calibrating??

The strips on the floor on both sides of the road are for proof. They take two photos if you are speeding and by looking at them they can prove your speed using speed = distance/time. So you have no comeback.

They are printed on both sides of the road to stop people just driving on the wrong side to get away with speeding. especially when overtaking.
