Yes they do flash!
Its not a flash like you get from a normal camera but an infrared flash that you wont see unless looking straight at the lens, it wont blind you and chances are you prolly wont even notice it.
They arent digital as some people think, they take a pic the same as a normal camera but are infrared so work at night with no need for a conventional flash.

You can do 43 in a 40 according to the 8% tolerance

I was watching a program where they had as speed camera on a 40mph road, and they said people could do 49mph without getting a ticket but above 49mph they would. I was the WTF, they might aswel make it a 50 zone

The blue and yellow ones with Truvello on the side can get both sides of the road, they can get a picture of the person who is driving the car too. They are tall and have a large box on the top, like the older Gatso...
