Subscriptions for GPS Camera alert devices, are they needed?

In the early days the only way to get a GPS Camera Warning device was to pay a lot of money and then pay a monthly fee for camera updates, but do you really need to do this any more.

We think the time to pay for a subscription is over.

Products from companies such as Novus no longer have a subscription yet there camera database is as good if not better that some of the subscription databases.

We compared a few systems last week and found that some of the subscription databases missed cameras that had clearly been there a while. One top brand missed a whole load of cameras during our week long look, and they charge a monthly fee!

I would now suggest that the idea of if its free, it must be no good should be ditched. Autoexpress did a review recently and showed that some of these units would cost you £200 a year to run over a 2 year period.

If you are looking at a GPS camera warning unit our recommendation is the Novus Rider, Autoexpress agrees with us as well.

Derbyshire police plan to use unmarked vans to catch speeders this summer.

There is a move by police in Derbyshire to use unmarked vans to catch speeding motorists this summer.

This work is carried out on routes which are already signposted as having speed enforcement cameras sited on them and analysis has highlighted as being collision hotspots.

Milton Keynes Speed Cameras

Council scraps speed cameras - because they are 'a blatant tax on the motorist'

A Tory council plans to pull £400,000 out of a speed camera project, claiming the devices are a 'blatant tax on the motorist'.

Swindon Borough Council in Wiltshire wants to spend the money on local safety measures, such as vehicle-activated speed signs.

Its proposal is believed to be the first time a council has publicly accused the Government of installing speed cameras to make money rather than prevent accidents.

Speeding ticket scam man jailed

A man has been jailed for 80 days after admitting disguising his car with stickers to avoid a speeding fine.

Paul Hendley, 39, of Kingsway, Stourport, Worcestershire, was recorded doing 37mph in a 30mph zone in Bromsgrove last October.

Hendley demanded photographic evidence and then claimed it did not look like his car, Worcester Crown Court heard. He sent a photograph back to police of what his car looked like after altering the vehicle. The court heard that Hendley added a number plate of a different design, a GB sticker, a Union flag and chequer sticker, along with a "Dad's Taxi" sign to his white Rover.

Police said that under interview Hendley denied altering the car's appearance or changing its number plate.

'Devious and deliberate'

However, officers found that the number plate and stickers had been bought from a local shop in December.
At court Hendley pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice.
He had previously received three penalty points and a £120 fine for the speeding offence.

Pc Keith Heritage, of West Mercia Police, said after the court case: "It was a devious and deliberate attempt to avoid a speeding fine, which was just not worth it. "This started out as a traffic offence and developed into a serious criminal matter which led to a jail sentence."

He added: "It is not uncommon for motorists to try to avoid responsibility for a speeding ticket but this is an example of the depths some people will go to, and we hope it will serve as a warning to others."

Police chief 'on speeding charge'

Britain's most senior traffic policeman is to be prosecuted for speeding, his force said on Tuesday.

Meredydd Hughes, head of roads policing for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), was allegedly caught driving at 90mph in a 60mph zone in North Wales while on holiday last May.

A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police said: "Chief Constable Meredydd Hughes has received a notice of prosecution in respect of an alleged driving offence in North Wales in the early morning of a bank holiday Monday in May while on holiday.

"No summons has yet been received."

The force has not given any indication whether Mr Hughes intends to fight the prosecution.

North Wales Police said it would not confirm any details on a case before it went to court.

A motorist has pleaded guilty to driving at 172mph on a rural A-road, making him the fastest speeder ever caught in Britain

Tim Brady, 33, was caught in a random speed check on the A420 near Abingdon, Oxfordshire, driving a £98,000 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo in January this year.

The current highest speed to result in a conviction is 156mph.

In a short appearance at Oxford Crown Court, Brady pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving. His plea of not guilty to one count of aggravated vehicle-taking was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service and he will be sentenced next month.
Brady, of Harrow, north-west London, resigned from his job at car lease firm Helphire at its Abingdon branch days after police stopped him in the car.

A spokeswoman for road safety charity Brake branded his actions "selfish".
"The idea of someone driving at that speed is horrific. The chances that a person will be able to control a vehicle at that speed if something unexpected happens is slim.
"It is extremely selfish. Nobody has the right to put other people's lives at risk like that."

In 2003, car dealer Jason McAllister was caught doing 156mph in his 3.2-litre BMW M3 in Scotland. He was jailed for five months.

THE RESULT - Jailed for 10 weeks . Brady pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving at Oxford Crown Court last month. His plea of not guilty to one count of aggravated vehicle-taking was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Travelling at 172mph, almost as fast as a jumbo jet taking off, it would take a car almost half a mile to stop at that speed.

A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said after Brady was sentence: "This was an absolutely terrifying piece of driving. Our roads are not race tracks or for breaking speed records."

He added: "It is fortunate the police were there to take action before he ended up killing himself or someone else

Cameras catch motorists speeding at over 130mph

MERSEYSIDE'S speed cameras are picking up motorists driving at up to 134mph, figures revealed yesterday.

Hundreds of drivers are regularly being caught at double the speed limit on roads across Merseyside.
The news came as statistics showed the number of road deaths on Merseyside is still higher than last year, with the government demanding a 40% reduction within five years.

In one incident, a driver was caught racing at 134mph in a 50mph zone, nearly three times over the limit, on the M62 near the Rocket public house.

Over a six-month period:
116 motorists were caught going at or above 70mph in a 30mph zone.
75 motorists were caught going at or above 80mph in a 40mph zone.
156 motorists were caught going at or above 90mph in a 50mph zone.
Speed cameras caught a driver speeding at 91mph on Scotland Road and another going 91mph on Aigburth Road, both 30mph zones.
And another motorist raced down Dunningsbridge Road East, Bootle, a 40mph zone, at a frightening 91mph.

How Fast?! Cabbie's 420mph Ticket

A cab driver has been accused of speeding in his Vauxhall Cavalier - at 420mph!

Tom Matthews was snapped in his 12-year-old diesel car in a 30mph zone. He received notice of a £60 fine and three penalty points - and then he saw the recorded speed was 420mph.

"I drive an old Cavalier, not a jumbo jet," Tom, 34, told The Sun. "According to this I've broken the land speed record."

Tom was clocked as he drove a woman home in Newport, Gwent, at 2.20am.

Mid and South Wales Safety Camera Partnership apologised and blamed "an employee processing error".

Tom says he will fight the penalty notice if he has to.

"There has been a printing error. If they insist I was going that fast I should be a Grand Prix driver - I'm wasted in taxis," he said.

115 mph in a Fiat Punto? You're having a laugh

A man accused by police of driving at 115 mph in a Fiat Punto thought the accusation so ridiculous he enlisted an expert driver to help prove his new car was incapable of going that fast.

Law student Steve Lucas, who risked a large fine and losing his driving licence if convicted of being so far over the 70 mph limit, said his small Fiat hatchback was just too slow to have reached such a speed, newspapers reported on Saturday.

"I was happy to put my hands up and admit that I was driving at 85 mph but the idea that my little Fiat Punto 1.2 litre could manage 115 mph was laughable," he was quoted as saying.

Lucas spent 18 months fighting the charges, hiring a traffic consultant to test drive his Punto on a private racecourse. He found the best the car could manage, going downhill with a following wind, was 104 mph.

Police were finally forced to drop the speeding charges, although Lucas was fined £40 for driving without due care and attention.
