about a 50/50 chance then
or maybe a 36%/64% chance  Seems weird how it flashed, almost certain its truvelo.
The forward facing Truvelo camera system is designed to take photographs of the front of a passing vehicle, this allows the picture taken to show the driver of the vehicle as well.
To avoid the 'flash' which is given out by a rear facing Gatso camera the Truvelo system uses an infra red flash which produces no visible 'flash' to the approaching driver. These rely on 3 white-lines in the road, painted just before the camera, and are triggered by strips in the road, used to gain the vehicles speed.
Truvelo cameras are becoming increasingly more commonplace, counties such as Northamptonshire use predominately only Truvelo cameras.
Points and Penalties
Being prosecuted in the UK by a Truvelo speed/safety camera can result in a minimum of 3 penalty points and a £60 fine. This fine amount is currently under review by the government and may increase in near future.
Truvelo speed camera locations are defined in the UK's Speed Camera Database with the following image .

You are also wrong, they do flash. The infra-red thing is a myth because of the red lens. It actually uses Magneta flash technology which isnt as bright as a normal flash and comes within European regulations for forward facing cameras.
The speed cam sites around at the mo have flase info on them so dont believe what you read.

Thats the place for the proper info.
