Hi,

On my way into work this morning, went passed the aforementioned stretch of road, gantry said 50, i was doing indicated 52/3 in the fast lane, look behind and saw flash from the camera in my lane. Thing is, the person in front of me was doing at least 60 and i didn't see anything happen, people in the other lanes were going faster than me and nothing!!

Should I be worried?

Should also mention this is the only gantry where i have ever seen a flash from a camera, a bit erratically a few times when driving in the opposite direction!!

thanks for any advice!

If what you've described is correct, it doesn't seem like a problem, does it?
Indicated 52/3 is normally an actual 49-51. You won't get penalised for 51 in a 50 (not yet, at least).
If there is a problem with the equipment, your actual speed can be ascertained by reference to the distance across the hash marks that your car has travelled in the time between the two photos. This will be your protection.
Also, it is very unlikely that - within the same lane - a slower car would be flashed but a faster one would not be. (Adjacent lanes are another story.)
