if you were doing 35, its ok, you wont get a ticket even if the flash was for you because there is a 5 mph margin....i was once doing 45 mph in a 40 road, the camera (on the same side of the road) flashed once, but i did not get anything then i was told by people that 45 is actually ok

also, since it was on the other side of the road, i doubt that you would get a ticket.

ps..gotta love that first answer...lol

If you don't want to lose your license, why was you speeding?

I think that you should get away with it - this time.

SLOW DOWN AND SAVE YOUR LICENCE AND PROBABLY A LIFE!!

depends on wether the white paint markins on the road can be linned up in the pic to see if your cars speed can be measured...

Unlikely. First, if your speedo showed 35 you were almost certainly doing less, secondly there is USUALLY a 10%+2mph tolerance, thirdly, most cameras snap you from behind against the background of the road markings.

You know what to do, with a licence as precarious as yours . . .

I saw a tv show one time. It was called myth busters and they asked the same question that you just asked and they tested it. they used a corvette going 130 mph. the camera flashed once and it took a picture. The camera takes the pic when your approaching and then the light goes off when u pass.

They have no film now they are digital. Stop speeding. Stop driving just get of the road and stop breaking the law.
