Anti-Speed Camera Petition

[Dingdell]

Not sure Trace, mine was over two years ago. Then, it was a case of if you could show it wasn't you, and give the details of the actual driver, they got the points instead. If you didn't supply the other drivers details or refused to do so, you got the points yourself.

Yes - i think you're right - what I meant was if you tried to get off by saying you didn't know who was driving at the time you were able to get away with it previously but now.

Old trick used to be a Polish or Romanian visitor who happened to be doing a bit of decorating for you and went down the local Wickes etc. to buy some more paint. Probably been rumbled by now though.

blimey, what a bunch of crims you all are

I was 'only' doing 50 in a 40  limit, it was a dual carraige way though.  LOL at me justifying it.

If it was you driving and you know it was, then hold your hands up to that and you'll just get the £60 fine and 3 points for that (I would have thought so anyway).

It is harsh though if you aren't sure who was driving and you are made to feel like you are obstructing the law even though they can't (or more accurately won't) give you any evidence to show that you did commit the said offence.

The picture they send is useless for identifying the driver, you just get the car.

Flushy the mobile camaras can see you crystal clear.

My view speed does not kill. Theres always somthing else involved.

It wouldn't have been anyone else, so it must have been me, I just can't see me travelling down that road at 10.26am on a Thursday, but I did have the day off so it more than likely was.   A bit of help remembering was all I was after but I have to go to court to get it.   Seems a silly system.  I'll be pleading guilty anyway.

Yup, like some dumbass 4 year old, crossing the road......

Popped home to be greeted by a speeding notice of prosecution. There's obviously a good chance it was me, but on the day in question, I was off work and the time is 10.26 - I'm not usually out and about this early on my days off (I am up though!)

One thing I don't particularly agree with is the process of proceedings here.   I'm not 100% sure it was me.  I've had it before with a parking ticket - my registration number but a totally different make and model of car - something not right so I was let off, not to mention I was about 300 miles away.

The form I have to fill in says am I guilty or not.  If I'm not convinced it was me, but the only way I can get a photo is to take the matter to court, by which time, I'm in a lot deeper and get more penalty if it is me, but I'm being asked to say O100% it was me before I'm certain it is. 

I guess I'll just have to confess, but whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?  All I want is a bit of proof.

Often they give you a web address you can access which shows you the picture. Mine came with a photo attached. You should give them a ring and they might send it to you or wait until Tikay gets on line - he's the expert when it comes to speed cameras.

Sigh......

So do I, they should teach their kids to drive more slowly.

The latest traffic accident figures are out from the govt.

http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/statistics/datatablespublications/accidents/casualtiesgbar/roadcasualtiesgreatbritain20071

The most shocking line in the report i read was:

Fatality rates per passenger are highest for motorcyclists, regardless of whether this is measured on a per kilometre, per journey or per hour basis - around 40 to 60 times greater than the equivalent rate for car users.
