It's our Gatso cameras that go flash-flash as you speed by; the Truevelo and the SPECS infra-red systems almost always face the oncoming vehicle and you can't tell when they fire. Gatso is usually film-based and the other two are digital capture. There are some Gatsos here set to monitor both sides of the road - even if they're not, then you would still see the flash if a speeding car coming the other way triggered one on the opposite side of the road as you approached. That's happened to me a couple of times now, thought always in daylight when the flash wasn't that bright. Took a fews weeks off my life tho :-) > Amazing - has there ever been any incidents of accidents caused by an > oncoming speed camera flash? It must be waiting to happen... Very likely. Even without the flash, there are some VERY impressive sets of skid marks in front of the Truevelo cameras near where I live caused by late-spotting-it drivers. No, it wasn't me, honest officer :-) Chris
