I've set them off doing the 30mph limit before. As mentioned, perhaps a shadow or maybe even a reflection off the windscreen or something. I've pulled out of a corner before and set off a camera just ahead due to the flashing lights

Had it happen once to me, never heard anything from the safety camera partnership.

I was under the impression it was a safety thing that they SHOULDNT flash oncoming traffic?
