Got sent this email today. Very interesting

Speed Cameras

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.
Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even 1 mph over the set limit, it is registered onto a database?
You only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or (this is the bit 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 at 34 mph in a 30 mph 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


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.
Or just enter your car registration. If there is any data on your vehicle, click on the camera window to see a copy of the photograph.

Hope this is useful.

Yep, this has been posted ages ago but it is funny.

Looks like some of you folks have not been looking at the photo, missing the joke entirely

Not seen it before but still seems to work.
Got us. The wife said oh no I was on that road.
And she was... Some hundred miles away

Got worried someone had cloned my car!! My old banger hasn't moved a wheel for ages and it said I was doing 80mph. I smelled a rat straight away
