Default Speeding - Cameras

on the way home this eve ( around 10.30 ) i was driving home through some back roads and got flashed 2twice. Shit i thought, but, i know there is no fixed speed camera there.

Are there hand held speed guns that flash ?

i was only going about 3mph over the limit so nothing drastic lol

No, just cameras flash. Handheld guns video the speeding.

lol,

I just cant figure out what it was.

If only fixed cameras flash, and hand helds dont what was it that flashed me.

It was 2 flashes, very uniform flashes too. I know there are no fixed cameras on that road.

It happened just as i went past and i saw the flashes out of the rear view mirror

Prob some kids? I know a guy who was very bored, so he sat on the side of the road, and when a car came past, he took a pic on his phone and watching everyone slam on their brakes. He thought it was a right laugh, till he flashed a undercover police car, let the chase commence!! lol
