Do all speed cameras flash?
Do speed cameras always flash? Not all speed cameras give off a visible flash – front-facing Truvelo Combi cameras, for example, use a filter to prevent their flash from dazzling drivers. Speed guns do not capture any images, unlike the Truvelo and ‘Long Ranger’ cameras, that can capture a driver’s face.
