Ok so my boyfriend was driving to work this morning, he was in a crawling queue of traffic, he was behind a lorry, he says he was going at about 5 mph and the speed camera flashed him.
I swear i saw something on TV like yonks ago about this happening and the height of lorries confusing the camera and making it go off.
Anyway basically he rang the local police to explain and they didnt have owt to say.
Obviously depending on the picture it may have the queue of traffic in it too which will prove he wasn't speeding.
Has this happened to anyone? and if so how easy is it to sort out?

We queried one a while back and they just gave up.
So given what's happened to you - even if by some chance they attempt to charge you then, as you mention, their own photographs will show he wasn't speeding.
Doubt the local police will have any involvement until the fine is sent out - at that point you should be able to easily resolve it with them
