Title: speed cameras
Post by bertie on Jan 24^th, 2005, 5:26pm

Don't know if anyone else has posted this but give it a try you'll be surprised.

Did you know that recent Government legislation changing the Freedom of
Information Acts gives you access to speed camera offences registered within
the last twelve months and placed on a freely accessible website? Did you
know that every time your car goes even over a mile or so over the speed
limit, it is registered and placed on the database? They only send a ticket
if you are way over, OR (and here is the rub..) if you receive over 20 near
misses") You can now check how many you have against your car's registered
number.

Check this page:
http://www.e-database.co.uk

It will ask you for a password - but just click on the 'need a password/'
link and you'll be given one in a pop-up window. In the top right hand
corner there is a "click-on" window and it even shows the picture taken by
the camera!

Yep I sent this one to my brother last summer, he's a travelling salesman and just out of total coincidence the road it said he was on when he was speeding he could actually have possibly been there at the stated time...
He was caught by it and came on the phone, as he was talking to me he clicked the see picture button...

Wot a larf!! ;D ;D

CAUGHT ME GOOD A PROPER,NOT! as my car has been in the garage for the past three weeks with a blown head gasket.
Shame there is no such site to check up on past near misses though....
