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.

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!!

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
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

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

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?
