G/F Flashed @ Bracknell the ring GATSO
Discussion
The missus was flashed today by the GATSO on the ring in Bracknell.
Anyone who has the pleasure or displeasure of knowing Bracknell will know which camera I'm talking about.
Question is.. is the camera active? I did find a website once that listed speed cameras (not abd) with reports from users to say whether or not they are active. Anyone know where I can find this info?

Those interested in the survey you can access it here:
www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB2ER67MSM
I'll be publishing the full results within 10 days, but a summary of the results so far:
43% of respondents were prosecuted for speeding in the UK within the last 10 years.
45% of those prosecuted were caught speeding in 30 limit.
57% of those prosecuted were caught speeding on an A road.
31% said when they were caught that conditions were 'quiet'
Only 7% said the conditions were something other than wet or rainy.
of those prosecuted 0% were offered driver training instead of points.
44% were caught using mobile camera technology or talivans...
It seems you have more chance of being pulled over for speeding (26%) than being caught by a Gatso (23%).
Only 8% of all participants were committed of another motoring offence that wasn't speed related. It certainly seems to show that bad driving goes unoticed and speeding is penalised regardless.
Keeping a national database would also help us to spot trends in prosecution, and we could know for sure how much the government was generating from them!
Once again, I don't condone speeding. I just report the facts. I feel a national database where motorists could log their speeding incidents with more detail would give all the ammo needed in arguing that speeding detection is unjust and unfair.
