Camera database with pictures of offenders

Post by tags »

Following the Government's freedom of information act you can now get access to 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 we didn't know) if you receive over 20 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 30 limit area whilst others doing 39 do not.

You can check what has been registered against your vehicle at the following address:


http://www.e-database.co.uk

You will be asked for a password but just click on the need a password link and you will be given one for future use, fill in the suggested logon and password, you can change it later. If there is any data on your vehicle you can click on the camera window to see a copy of the photograph.
