If you've got a GPS speed camera detector or something you could use that to see how accurate your speedo is to start with........in any case just because it flashes doesn't mean you'll get a ticket. Sometimes it will go off because it thinks you're going too fast but then won't issue a ticket as you weren't going fast enough.
Also were there 2 flashes or just one? Might just be a faulty camera....
@ Saraj: That was a dual carriageway with a 30mph speed limit? Don't think I've ever seen that before

There's a short piece of dual carriageway not too far from me that has a 30 limit.

Yh it was, I questioned the same road when i was out driving on the driver improvement course and the instructor said unless stated otherwise assume its 30, even though its a dual carrigeway

It is a common misconception that the default speed limit of a dual carriageway is 40. But as you say Saraj, it's not true.

yh thats where i went wrong and got booked and went to a speed awareness course who in fact had the same tutor as the driver improvement course, actually both were the same course just named differently so i managed to make myself look clever by answering all the questions lol

Clearly that's a change that's happened silently - it used to be that if not stated otherwise and not in a residential area then assume national speed......which is what you'll find in a lot of the countryside, barely any road markings and it's all national speed.
Should really be clearly signposted if it's 30 and not a built up area. Cheers for the tip though, will have to pay more attention on the odd occasions I wander out of civilisation :tongue_smilie:
(just kidding, don't :Shooting

i think in the are we live in its ok, we know the speed and road, but its when we get to places we never been, its sometimes difficult working out the speed, and sometimes i use the rule of the few cars in front, match there speed which i know not the way to do it
and come on Parthiban, we talking about the governement and speed obviously there do everything on the silent

That's if there's no streetlamps that it's the national limit, usually the dual carriageways have streetlamps on them.

steviewevie That's if there's no streetlamps that it's the national limit, usually the dual carriageways have streetlamps on them.That's for single carriageways though isn't it, if I was on a dual carriageway with no signs I'd expect 70mph unless stated otherwise.

each camera is different, I had a friend get a ticket for doing 33 in a 30.
