Did it get me?

I was always of the opinion that the traditional gatso (the big yellow bastards) only measured the speed of vehicles traveling away from them - a view supported by the fact that the calibration marks are only on the same side of the road.
So I was surprised to be passing such a camera from the 'safe' side (ie towards it and on the other side of the road) when I detected a flash. I didn't see a second flash, but perhaps I blinked. When I saw the flash I was probably at about 45 degrees to the camera, and surely out of the line of 'fire' if one considers the calibration marks.
Hopefully it was an aberration (I saw a similar gatso flash a car at well under 30). What does the panel think?
