Possible speeding ticket ?

[Rod]

Went past a camera van yesterday in my car at the top of the A3 dual carriage way. Speed limit 50 was probably doing 57/58 . Did I read on hear some time back that there was a web site where you can check whether you got done or not ??

It's a myth I'm afraid. There isn't a site - that I know of anyway.

You've just got a slightly sweaty 14 days until the panhandlers send their demand for money with menaces.

What a complete and utter fecking waste of space they are.

Worth remembering that your speedometer will be showing a faster speed than you are actually travelling at.
My 1150 is at least 5mph out, and the car is 2-3mph out.

At least you saw the van...

This is precisely the problem with speed cameras. Over here in the northern colonies (Canada), we have a phrase in our constitution that guarantees the right to a "fair and speedy judicial process". After I was sent a photo ticket in the mail (that I didn't know I got), I asked a solicitor friend I know, if one could argue to have the charges dropped because waiting 2-3 weeks to even find out you were charged is definitely a delay in the process and impedes the right to defend oneself.

He said that the constitutional rights don't apply, because speeding tickets and the like are not in the criminal code. Still, I would be more supportive of speed cameras if there was a way to know you've been done at the time of the infraction.

Yes, I know; this should probably be in the "Rant" section.
