SC Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If you've been to the UK recently 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 3 near misses, you will be classed a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit or if a patrol spots your car.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, go to the following web address:http://www.i-database.co.ukJust enter your reg to access the info.If there is any data on your vehicle you can click on the camera window to see a copy of the photograph of the offence.

AnOther Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Crikey that old chestnut has been around for years, over 6 for sure as I know I saw it well before I came to France in 2007Don't blame Chancer, the first person who knew it or fell for it would have been back to tell and that wouldn't have taken long !

NickP Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Well I stood for it, obviously it was new to me, most jokes or pranks are "old" they just get regenerated every now and then . Any way after I stopped feeling a bit silly for getting caught, I thought it was quite funny [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
