If the car wasn't going over the speed limit, how come it took a photo of
the car? I thought they only took (or saved) photos of cars which it
detected as going too fast?

I set off one of those flashing signs on my bike the other day - doing
about 32 mph on the approach to a 30 mph zone. If cameras use the same
sort of sensor then I guess it would take a photo of you if you went fast
enough although the potential chafing from pedalling that
fast would put me off trying!

You don't even have to be doing 30.

I have been flashed twice when doing less than the 30 limit (one
explanation proffered was something to do with the doppler effect,
whereas others swear that there must have been someone going over the
limit the other way).

Looking at the low angle I think you will find it wasn't a camera on a
pole but a stationary talivan.

It says "mobile camera" in the article.
