  Who's at fault 3 May 2011 (Ask HJ)

• NIP - who was driving? 11 May 2007 (Forum)
  My wife has received an NIP, her car was caught speeding by a fixed gatso, we know the road and use it very often so we know the camera location hence are surprised to receive the NIP. However assuming it is correct in that an offence was committed (i.e. the camera calibration is not erroneous or someone local has not cloned her number plate) we have an issue - we cannot be totally sure who was driving at the time of the offence.
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) XV 7 May 2004 (Forum)
  An NIP will change their behaviour when they realise how much more their insurance will cost them and when they get close to losing their licence - it would chnage it more if the fines and penalty points were higher. I agree with what you say about cameras not catching the worst offenders, but some of the responsibility for that has to lie with the individuals concerned, and with those who encourage them. I saw a quote recently from a senior police officer (can't remember which area) that if things keep going the way they are, we will go back to hidden, mobile cameras that will be harder to detect or track.
• Another Gatso letter in the newspaper. 24 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Between 1999 and 2000, trials of speed cameras, (Gatsos) in eight areas found three of the areas with increases in fatalities of up to 18%. Why were we not told of that? The study?s claim that, ?Gatsos save lives? have been dismissed as ?naughty?
• Speeding. Patrol car two vehicles behind. 8 May 2018 (Forum)

• Flat Geodesy in Francaise 21 Jan 2002 (Forum)

• Penalty Charges and Bureaucracy gone MAD 14 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Otherwise I have no issue with the bus lane or the camera, I only want the ability to access my property safely. I would welcome any useful comments or suggestions (moving house isn?t an option). Is there some law which states that every individual has the right to access their property in a safe and secure manner (hope against hope!!!).
• Weekend observations 7 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  In event of breakdown, stay with vehicle." This sign was attached to a SPECS camera. False sense of security? All in all, a very interesting journey. Well, for me at least. I'll get me coat.
• 2012 Toyota Auris Hybrid - CarPlay unit no longer showing rear cam on screen? 11 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  Hi all, i bought the above unit , 3 years ago, so its outside of warranty. It was working fine with Iphone, but recently , the stock rear reverse camera, isnt being displayed on screen in dash, just the generic centered lines are visible! Its a pioneer unit, DAB, bluetooth, NAV, etc, but the rear camera feed is no longer showing! Its a small car, granted, but it doesnt have rear parking sensors, so 'she' can sometimes struggle parking the thing!

• Do you think i got my first 3 points? 5 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I went past a strange camera tonight and unluckily for me i was probably doing about 10 or 12mph over the limit in a 50 after overtaking a tractor. I probably didnt slow back down in time. Anyway, the camera i have never seen before.
