Went Through Junction Sign with camera

Right i passed one of them digital junction signs which light up if you are going to fast and show a digital picture of a junction sign.I went past it just a few mph over the limit and there was a very small camera which lighted up red.Is this a proper speed camera or just a sensor to light up the sign to say your going to fast

Go back NOW with some tyres and diesel and set fire to the camera...may as well do the sign as well.

What i dont get is about 60% of cars which go past it make the sign flash.So will i lose my licence or is it just a sensor

They're just trying to worry you.....there's one at the bottom of a long hill on my way home from work....set it off every day!

...still no points on the license. It's in a 40 limit 46-47mph seems to be the threshold it is set to. Still trying to set it off with a pushbike!

I go through two a day, and have done for about 12 months, I reckon I have only not set them off about 6 times out of roughly 1400 hits.
I reckon you are safe
