As Mike says.........NO FLASH from these vans, they use lazer speed detection coupled to a very high quality digital camera. I have approached one of these vans at (or slightly below) the speed limit allowed, and my Valentine 1 detector has given a loud "blat" noise indicating that I have been targeted by the lazer......but I guess if a vehicle is doing less than the speed that the Police officer has pre-set (say he has set it to 44 MPH in a 40 zone) then no picture is taken.........
AFAIK as soon as the approaching (targeted) vehicle IS OVER the pre-set speed the pic is taken automatically.......
