vader Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 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 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 address: http://www.i-database.co.uk You may 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.

Duality Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Something strikes me as dodgy about this: 79.170.40.0 - 79.170.42.255 Heart Internet Network United Kingdom Jonathan Brealey 2 Castle Quay, Castle Boulevard, Nottingham. NG7 1FW phone: +44.8456447750 Jonathan Brealey 2 Castle Quay, Castle Boulevard, Nottingham. NG7 1FW phone: +44.8456447750 HEART-INTERNET Source: whois.ripe.net You would expect the domain to be registered to a government agency, not an individual... and the lack of .gov domain makes me suspicious.

RoadWarrior Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Prolly a good thing you can't get North American vehicles in the UK easily..... Would likely break a few limits regardless of where you are. Used to love it when I got a late-night bar-close call as a cabbie, and one of the brit-army trainee's asked me how fast I could get him back to camp, for row-call. 35 km's, mountain roads, all I asked was that he buckled up, and didn't toss his cookies. Last one I took up that hill got there in less than 8 minutes. He asked. Next time I saw him, he didn't ask, he also didn't leave quite so late. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
