some idiot woman decided to overtake me while next to a truvelo camera and it flashed pink, i have noticed this b4..but people say they dont?
also i dnt understand how they work out your speed cos the flash happens like when the car is next to/past the camera?
does the other truvelo on other side of the road take another pic as well? ie they work as a pair?

Turvelos do flash - but Infrared flash - you MIGHT see a faint red flash. They take a picture of you head on and take your speed by two inductive strips in the road infront of the camera.

i know, i thought the point of them was so that they couldnt blind drivers when they flashed....the strips are quite close to the camera and the 3 strips are only a few inchs apart, i dnt see how it can be measured

The distance between the strips...
I dont like going past truvelos, as atleast with gatso's you know you've been done if you see a flash in your window,lol.
How brights the flash the truvelos give out?
