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.

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/

Although having checked my Reg I saw that I had been clocked doing 37mph in a 30mph zone in a Town called Witney somewhere in Oxfordshire where I have never been in my life (as far as I know) maybe I was drunk at the time. :D

I'm beginning to think that this is a hoax. I just checked mine again and it tells me I was allegedly clocked on the 3rd of June in Oxfordshire when I was actually playing Golf in Cheshire. :?

I should have a ticket coming my way soon then as I was caught doing 81 in a 70 last Friday near Middlesboro.

Shame I never left East Anglia all day......

(I'm wondering if this is a scam as they can't spell "against" and there is a click to view on the image - or maybe it is a joke site. Either way I'm not clicking :wink: )

Appears I'm guilty of doing 37.5mph in a 30mph zone in a car I had 20 years ago and has long since died.
Further it was for an offence in Amsterdam on a street with an English name.


However, the site does say it is a joke site

Hmm, unlikely I got clocked on a road in Melbourne with a 70 mph speed limit :lol:

Even less likely that my wife got one at the same time.

Pa you probably navigated to this from my friends online mobile number storage site I site I gave you yesterday.

This is also one of his sites which he was hoping would go viral and earn him a few pennies. It's meant as harmless fun.

Looked like fun and had a little bet with myself that my vehicle FISO999 would be an offending vehicle. Mind you a lot of people will fall for it and Mrs Striker being foreign, and even after 34 years not fully in tune with English humour, is 90% likely to fall for it. I'm not sure if she will be amused or irritated. But I feel that its my duty to find out. :wink:

I hope it is also your duty to let us know the outcome.

I just caught my old Uncle James out with it and he was all a fluster. I told him that I could sort matters with the Police if he remembered me in his will. :wink:

I was offered those. Looked a good deal but I was in a deal to rent Buckingham Palace so all my cash was tied up in advance admin fees. You did well there.
