Depends on the camera...
There are both forward facing and back facing cameras over here...
MOST of them are forward facing (thank god)... But the road from Melb to Geelong has a bunch of them, some forward and some behind...
The bridge only has forward facing...

i heard that they are not using flash anymore,.............................
but what about a rear speed camera, can they catch u if u r going thru a turn ?? or it must be going straight in order to get the number plate?

wowow that's not cheap at all, is there any manual operated ones?
i've seen them before on ebay, but can't find them now, i think what it is a metal plate with springs and stuff

OK, its not cheap, but if you go thru radr traps and don't get caught 3 times, it has paid for itself....
But I did find this, not sure if it would fit ur bike tho'....
