Default Speed camera help please

Morning all need abit of help

weds night my mate james phoned me and asked if he could lend my body to help move his 3door shell, anyway long story short on the way back it was pissing it down i was in front at some traffic lights, set off gets 400 yards down the road an ambulance with its blue lights and sirens was coming down the road behind me, so I pull over un aware i was in the white lines of the speed camera, I thought id gone past that point it was dark raining and having tinted windows obviously I couldnt see.

So the ambulance goes past me and FLASH FLASH speed camera

Now where will I stand with this it was a rear facing camera with me in the point and ambulance will I expect to hear anything or will they check the film?

the two flashes are two different pictures, they measure the distance covered between the lines on the two photos and that proves the speed.

if you were stationary, the photo's will show that, and the ambulance in the pic will explain the camera triggering, so you should have nothing to worry about

If you was stoped on the white lines the 2 flashes will just show you there as they use the white lines to measure how far you have travelled between flashes.

You will be fine as they will also see the ambulance in the picture.
