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

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

Right, MD, if there's one thing blokes should be FORBIDDEN from wearing, it's lycra.

Very, very wrong
