A SOUTHAMPTON speed camera has been making drivers fear fines this morning – despite travelling safely under the limit.

Drivers complained that a camera on the A33 Redbridge Road had been flashing for those travelling well under the 40 miles-per-hour speed limit towards the New Forest.

Police said that if anyone had been flashed by the camera who was not speeding, their photos wouldn’t be processed.

One driver said that the camera had been flashing ‘everyone’ driving past it, after doing 35mph at 8.30am.

A statement from Hampshire police said: “We have been made aware of some concerns regarding the safety cameras on the A33.

"We have checked them and there does not appear to be any fault, but we will continue to monitor them.

“We do know that on previous occasions, low sun reflecting off the cameras has made it seem as though they are flashing when in fact they were not.

“In the unlikely event that drivers have been flashed when travelling within the speed limit, these images will not be processed.”
