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.
yep, this one distracted me too. Did you get fined?
