Does anyone know for sure whether getting flashed three times on the

Daughter reckons that she might have got had more than once this morning
in her company car on a section of the M1 at the south end, where the
back-facing gantry cameras have not been on for a couple of years. She
reckons that she was not much over the top - for a change - but probably
enough to have tripped them. I've not been able to find much info on
multiple instances on the same stretch. Lots of barrack room lawyers
huffing and puffing and giving opinions based on nothing, but no
definitive answer.

Anyone on here suffered this and knows for sure, or who has a link to
somewhere on t' interweb that details exactly what the situation is ?

The cameras are usually, but not always, set to trigger at the limit plus
10% plus a couple of miles per hour. Assuming this is the case then she
must have been doing 80mph or more. Perhaps careless driving would be a
more appropriate charge.

Aha. A G6 ! That's going back a bit. Are you still active ? Actually, she
doesn't know for sure that she has been flashed. She is basing it on seeing
a couple of flashes on the other side of the road on a section where the
cameras have not been active for a couple of years. She reasoned that if
they were working now across the road, they may well be her side as well,
but you can't see them on your own side, as they are rear facing.
