I beg to differ
I was travelling past one at around 7.30pm a few monthes ago. It wasn't fully dark, was about dusk. Anyway, there was a camera on the other side of the road, lines on both sides.. I wasn't aware I was over the limit, but it flashed.. It flashed just as I glanced at the camera for a split second, and completly dazzled me. Quite lucky that the road was empty, as im sure I veered to the right. Anyway, I had to pull over to 'recover', if you can put it like that. After about 10 minutes, my head was banging.. and I suffered a migraine as I got home. (Lights, Strobes.. etc seem to affect me)
Bloody road was a 40mph limit, completly open (Rural) and it didn't really pose any threat to be doing at least 60 there. So yeah, this camera was dangerous.
