I thought you may want to know this and pass it on to others
A friend has been caught by a Radar gun and it has cost him £60 and 3 peanlty points..
He has a friend who works for an insurance company who then advised him that recent goverment legislative changes to the Freedom of Information act allows access to speed camera offences registered within the last 12 months which are placed on a freely accessiable website.
Apparently every time you pass a camera and your car is traveling even a mile or so over the speed limit it is regestered on the data base you are only sent a ticket if you are way over or if you receive 20 near misses....
you can check how many you have against your cars reg number
at the website
http://www.e-database.co.uk
you will be asked a password ,but as a first time user just clickon "need a password"link and you will be given one in a pop up window,,,
I found it quite alarming when I checked my car ....I hope you all have better luck than me .
as there is a lot of car cloning.
" click on " the window that will even show you the pictures taken by the speed cameras.
