Speed Cameras in the UK
Hi everyone,
Working in the industry has its advantages so I’m sending you this because you may have been caught recently without realizing it.
It’s best to check these things so you don’t get any nasty surprises.
Speed 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 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:
http://www.i-database.co.uk
You will be asked for a password, but just click on the need a Password link and you will be given one for future use, or 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.

I've just been sent this. It's apparently a Spanish speed camera in disguise
