Re: taxi in motion

When they tried it here in Ontario, Canada on an experimental basis several 
years ago, the cameras and flashes were on top of poles, some 15 or 20 feet 
in the air, and the flash fired after the car had passed, taking a photo of 
the rear license plate.

Do they set off a bright flash into the eyes of the drivers?
