Speed Camera - Have you been caught?

Did you know that recent Government legislation changing the Freedom of
Information Acts gives you access to speed camera offences registered
within the last twelve months and placed on a freely accessible website?

Did you know that every time your car goes over even a mile or so over
the speed limit, it is registered and placed on the database? They only
send a ticket if you are way over, OR (and here is the rub..) if you
receive over 20 near misses.

You can now check how many you have against your car's registered number.
Check this page: -

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

It will ask you for a password - but just click on the 'need a password'
link and you'll be given one in a pop-up window. In the top right hand
corner there is a "click-on" window and it even shows the picture taken
by the camera!!!

For some unknown reason it will sometimes give you a pop-up window that says Service Unavailable.....just persevere and you will get through

    But that isn't even my picture - can't I take this up with them directly or should I apply to go to court when the penalty notice arrives?

    What is really worrying is that it knows I have lived in Middlesbrough and Cambridge!
