Can speed cameras catch you from the front? Expert explains

Plus, more than 2,500 are left seriously injured, and that's all because drivers are travelling too fast, the RAC reports. That's why speed cameras have become essential in a bid to save lives. There are many myths around speed cameras, including how far one can record your speed and what speed actually triggers the roadside technology. But some might be wondering if speed cameras can catch you from the front and if a picture of your face can be taken. Let's find out, according to motoring experts at the RAC and AA. The RAC explains: 'Most speed cameras are rear-facing, however, there are exceptions. 'Truvelo Combi cameras, radar and laser speed guns, and the new 'Long Ranger' camera – that can measure speed and check for other driving violations from a kilometre away – all work by facing the front of vehicles.' The AA says: 'If the camera detects speeding, it takes a digital image. 'The image will catch the vehicle's colour, type, make and registration plate. 'It may also capture the face of the driver, depending on the type of camera and which way it's facing.' Yet the AA adds not all cameras will get a clear picture of the driver. But speed cameras will also record: When caught speeding, the minimum penalty is usually a £100 fine and three points on your licence. Recommended reading: Warning to motorists as thousands of UK drivers being wrongly fined How fast can you go before triggering a speed camera? Car expert explains Drivers warned they are risking £1,000 fine for common summer driving mistake The AA continues: 'However, this could be higher if you've gone over the speed limit by a lot. You can even get a court summons. 'If it's a first offence and you don't have points on your licence, you could be offered a speed awareness course instead of penalty points.
