The claim

Email claims that anybody can view information about a driver’s speed camera offences by visiting a publicly accessible website ( Full commentary below ).

Check this out – its amazing!

Did you know that recent Government legislation changing the Freedom of Information Acts gives you access to speed camera offences registered within the last twelve months and placed on a freely accessible website?

Did you know that every time your car goes even over a mile or so over the speed limit, it is registered and placed on the database?

They only send a ticket if you are way over, OR (and here is the rub.. if you receive over 20 near misses”) You can now check how many you have against your car’s registered number.

Check this page: http://www.e-database.co.uk/

It will ask you for a password – but just click on the ‘need a password/’ link and you’ll be given one in a pop-up window. In the top right hand corner there is a “click-on” window and it even shows the picture taken by the camera!!!
