Just got sent this, it's unreal!

"Did you know that recent government legislation changing the freedom of information act gives you access to speed camera offences - registered in the last twelve months and placed on a freely accessible website? Did you also know that everytime your car goes a mile or so over the limit - it is registered and placed on the database? You only get a ticket if you are 10% + 2mph over the limit or if you receive

20 near misses! You can now check how many you have against your cars registration number. Go to this website -

it will ask you for a password - but just click on the need a login button and you'll be given one on the pop up window. On the right there is a click-on button which even shows the picture taken."

Sod ;-) Got me there for a moment - I was in the Cambridge area last week (in the Astra), it wasn't until I checked the Landy's reg. (not been out in it for a couple of weeks due to a transmission problem) and got the same data that I clicked on the picture and got my heart rate back down.

I got the impression it was a windup when it informed me that my SIIa

2.25 had been clocked at 81.2mph. Considering I've never managed to break the national speed limit with it......

It was late and the data showed 37.1 in a 30, I should have spotted that it wasn't a .gov.uk site though :-)

Well unless the insurance company must have done a good repair job on my ex 95 Mondeo that demolished 15' of dry stone wall did a 180 roll. That was also caught in Cambridge... B-)
