When is this evil barbaric practice going to end?

This guy was running the Time share scam in Calangute. Royal Beach Resort or whatever it's latest name is.He has been selling timeshares for the past 8 years at least. The company put several large ads in the local rags extolling how great he was and sorely missed, inspirational etc etc.

Police Traffic Cameras

Thought you might be interested to know that following the UK Government's freedom of information act you can now get access to ALL speed camera offences registered in the last 12 months.

Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even 1mph over the set limit, it is registered and put on a database?
You only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or, (this is the bit that I didn't know) if you receive over 10 near misses, you will be classed as a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit.

This is why you hear of people being done for 34mph in a 30mph limit area, whilst others doing 39 do not. You can check what has been registered against your vehicle at the following web address

www.i-database.co.uk
Just enter your car registration. If there is any data on your vehicle you can click on the camera window to see a copy of the photograph.
Hope it's useful.

Not when you find you had one when you were in Goa!:sneaky:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

not funny at all!!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

No sense of humour

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I actually have a very good sense of humour these days noni! Not quite as warped as yours I must admit!!

If you`d been in my situation 16months ago of staying with your aged mother and her receiving a speeding ticket when you had been driving her car (ironically on my way back from Notts to Oxon and on to Hayes to submit visa application)and doing 34mph in a 30 mph zone on the day you were due to fly back to Goa you probably wouldn`t find this funny either!

We spent at least 2 hours of my final day in the UK for a year writing letters and photocopying air tickets and driving licences etc and still the concerned authority hassled my mother for over 4 months!!!It appears that if you are not in the country they cannot put points on your licence!I was told to fill in the forms when I was next in the UK....a year later! Sent them in and heard nothing!!!!So what happens?
I guess after a year they bin them!! Or i hope so!!

Sorry to inform you but this web site only gives details for the last 28 days not 12 months.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Is this web site genuine?? I have just accessed it and find that I was supposed to have driven 80mph, on an A road I have never driven on, on a date when the car was in the garage all day!!!!! In fact have only driven to local town centre in whole of November.

Yes I was caught out, it is a set up. Not funny, as we will be soon travelling to India and I was worried.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Jagger, sorry to inform YOU it gives details of sweet f**k all, its a cleverly constructed spoof site and the joke (?) only happens if you click on "photographic evidence". Bit like viruses, too many highly educated IT people (extended education paid for by us) with too little to do all day?

Having said all that, having gone through nightmares with the idiots at DVLA recently ( a sort of polite version of VFS and they dont make up the rules as they go along...........but are still bound by them), I have to confess:

I didnt find it funny either, even though my panic was brief

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

In other words - it got you all !!!! :rofl::rofl:

Dread -x

Re: In To-day's Newspapers

Ah! bless you all, if you had gone to the picture you would have seen it was a spoof. Yes, it got us worried - I was blaming my kids for taking the car out whilst I was in Goa. It shows some of you don't read things to the end.

msj5 have been through the same thing as you :nod:

Ex-husband, daughter duped me: German woman
27 Nov: Times of India. A German businesswoman, who runs a boutique hotel in Goa, on returning to the coastal state this month after fighting with cancer for four years in a hospital in Germany, learned that her daughter and ex-husband had sold off her property worth about 10 crore in Candolim and then shared the proceeds from the sale of property between them…

A Paradise Under Threat: By Tomazinho Cardozo
27 Nov: Navhind Times. The impression that Goa is the most secure state of India is fast vanishing. Today, Goa is not behind other states in the country, which are known for their law and order problems. Goans are witness to all types of crimes in all fields of life. Besides murders, rapes, assaults, etc, use of drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, etc, are on the rise. We are not at all that backward in the art of corruption, too. Goa where are you heading to?:nod:
