I always understood they have 14 days to notify you if they are going to do anything

Google it to see if that's right

How certain were you that it was a camera flash? There are some instances where peripheral objects, walls or other barriers somewhat reflect light from other lanes or on the other side of the motorway. I know of stray lorries flashing their lights to full beam to either look at a sign in advance from a distance, or they just flash behind for no good reason at all. They can create reflections that look like flashes especially if your car passes it relatively quickly in which case at 92 things will start to pass quicker than say the 70 limit.
