It could have been the snow. I was out gritting the other night at 4am and the snow was setting the sensors off on some of the lights. I kept getting the red light

Also there is a problem with cameras going off when lorries go through slowly, but I don't know how slow and what the problem is

The operator should check the photos against the lines on the road so nothing should come of it.

Sometime they don't tho, as the bloke who was accused of driving a school bus through a 30 limit at 80mph found out

You should be fine, even if they do send out a nip, you have the tacho to prove otherwise
