Basically, was driving down a road which had essentially two lanes (there was also a bus lane on each side). On one side, say that is heading north, the road is marked with distance markers, and a gatso type camera is facing towards those markers, clearly shooting cars heading north. The limit is 30.
I am travelling south on the road, there are no marking on my side, and I am around 20 metres away from the camera when I get a flash in my face. I don't doubt I was speeding. If you had asked me before yesterday the same question I ask you, I would say categorically not possible - the road markings are a legal requirement, and the camera can't take a photo of your front registration (due to bikes etc.)
However now it has actually happened I am questioning it. There was other traffic on the other side of the road, but it didn't look as if they were speeding. Can I set off a camera on the other side but not get caught?
I would really prefer some responses from people who know from experience (from police work, past ticketing experiences, or in the know info), please no speculation and "I thought". Categorically, can I be caught on the other side of the road, with no markings?
thanks.
