I am in the UK at the moment and hired a car. I was driving in a built up area ( 30 mph speed limit), when driving towards the speed camera I noticed it flashed twice , I was the only car in the vicinity, was doing approx 33 mph and slowing down, but I was nowhere near the white marks on the road.
I always thought it took 2 pictures and the distance travelled ( as per the white markings on the road) between those flashes determined your speed.
I was about 200 yards away from the white lines when the flashes occurred, so I am really not sure what happened here. Am I right in my assumption as to how these speed cameras work ?
Also, will there be penalty points on my (Irish)license for this in case I was speeding ?
