From Ian Miller

A year or two ago, I saw a programme on German speed limit breakers who were
using precisely the same tactic. The German authorities reacted by modifying the
cameras to emit a sequence of flashes before the camera shutter opened to
discharge any slave flashes on the target vehicle. Perhaps the people at the
Home Office should ask their German counterparts for advice.
