Some may never have seen this, so thought it worth posting:

Just in case you?ve ever been worried that you have been snapped by a speed camera!

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 add ress:

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.
If the link doesn't work just put "i-database.co.uk" in google.

If you are ever pulled by the plod with the speed gun then you have the right to ask him to show you that the intrument is calibrated. More than likely they wont bother because it is too much hassle.Then you will get away with your speeding fine.:PDT11

Our firm did this regarding a weighbridge when a vehicle was pulled up for supposedly being overladen. It turned out the authorities didn't have an up to date calibration certificate. A day out in Birmingham court though :ninja:
