I have recieved a letter from Hampshire Constabulary Claiming that they sent me a letter over four weeks ago which related to an ''alleged traffice offence'' (I never received such a letter) It says that the previous letter legally required me to supply details of the driver of my car - (it doesn''t say when or where so how I''m supposed to know what there on about I don''t know) It goes on to say that by not supplying the details I will be commiting an offence and this will supercede the ''alleged traffice offence'' and cannot be dealt with through fixed penalty procedures, a court appearance is therefore probable. The offence carries a maximum fine of £1000, endorsement and possible disqualification. Now obviously I''m going to ring them up later on today and ask them what the hell there on about. But does anyone have any advice???

Ok I rang up the phone number and have been told, by what I assume was a civilain, that my car was recorded doing 36 mph in a 30 limit on the 2nd of June on the I.W. by a 'lastech' mobile camera. She said that driver ID form will be re-sent out and when it has been the required reply time will be reset - any ideas? On another note I've heard about these camera's having to be Calibrated every time they are setup and have to have a certificate to prove that they have been calibrated, does anyone know anything about this?
