Truvelo cameras
Am I right in thinking Truvelo cameras don't flash?
If so can anyone tell me wether the 2 (1 on each side of road) on the A43 near silverstone (Towcester) are live
TIA

Hmmm, not sure about this. I have seen a Truvelo flash. The flash isn't as blinding as, say, Gatso, but they do flash.

It very unlikely that youd miss the flash. Whilst it isnt overpowering like a conventionl flash, its pinky-purple, very intense and pointing right at you!

Fingers crossed then 
It's my own fault. One of my mates got caught on the same set of speed cameras a few hours earlier 
We both "HAD" clean licenses until now
Cheers for the advice Guys

The one heading from Towcester towards Bicester is live. Don't know about the other one, though.
A couple of months ago I got a snotty letter from Northants scamera partnership demanding to know which one of my staff was riding a motorcyle along the A43 at xx o'clock on Friday xxth of yyyy at 144mph. They knew it was one of our staff because they had a motorbikestoday.com sticker on their helmet...
I was very happy to write back explaining that we'd given 20,000 of those away in a promotion

It's not IR but it does flash and has a red filter. Northants police haven't got enough technical gubbins (lens,flash etc) that go inside the camera's to allow all of their Truvelos to be live so a fair few often aren't but they do alternate regularly.

I went through a similar experience with same cameras last year. Felt sure I crossed them over speed limit but never heard anything so must have taken enough speed off before crossing the detection strips in the road which are approx 1 - 2m infront of the camera.
Good luck.

both of them are truvelos, no visible white lines in the road and forward facing are the clues, they do also flash but are filtered,2 strips buried under the road do the detecting,
don't know if they are live or not.
Good luck anyway.

Truvello cameras must have the white lines on the road; otherwise it cant be established who triggered the camera.....(where there are two or more vehicles in shot, its the one on the lines who has been detected). No white lines then no approval as far as I understand.
