I passed under a gantry last night on my way home from work and for the first time ever there was a flash above my head.
As I approached the gantry at very slightly over 60mph along with pretty much every other lane (4 lanes) it was displaying 60.
As I passed underneath I could see the next gantry displaying 50 but the gantry flashed - I am unsure as to whether it my lane or not and I am pretty sure all lanes were travelling at approx the same speed.
Darn camera's now I have to wait to see I suppose.
Anyone have any experience of how long they take to inform you that you have been caught on camera?
Or anyone have any experience of successfully appealing - as I do not believe 63mph in a 60 limit to be excessive - and if the gantry changed to a lower figure out of my sight I don't believe that is fair either.

there must be a grace period from the time that they switch the speed until they start nicking people Fingers Crossed

I had one go off at me once, was a 30 mph zone built up area and i was doing 30 I never heard anything from dvla and was also told (unsure if true) that occasionally they go off to calibrate or test or something????? im sure you will be fine if it said 60 when you saw it and were doing 63 as you said

Its two flashes for the camera to have recorded an image
Doris the 1998 Portofino Blue 20V and Zoe the 1999 Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Bog standard needn't be boring...
