Question
Name: Mike Rattle, Bowling, Bradford Enquiry: How much money did safety camera partnerships make in 2005/06?
Question
This is just a stealth tax on motorists.
Question
It's just a way of generating revenue for the police.
Question
Why aren't you out catching burglars instead of harassing 'easy prey' motorists?
Question
Cameras are hidden to catch drivers out.
Question
Don't some drivers 'get away with it' because they slam on the brakes as they approach a camera and speed up as soon as they're past?
Question
Looking out for cameras all the time actually causes more casualties than the cameras prevent.
Question
You're more likely to cause a crash because you're fixated on the speedo.
Question
I think I’ve been "flashed" by a camera. How long will it be before I know if I’ve got a speeding ticket?
Question
I have received a Notice of Intended Prosecution, what happens now?
Question
What happens if I don't sign and return the Notice?
Question
If I sign the form aren't I automatically incriminating myself, in breach of human rights legislation?
Question
If I wasn't the driver but I know who was, aren't I incriminating them in breach of their human rights?
Question
What if I wasn't driving?
Question
I didn't know the speed limit of the road because there were no signs - can I plead not guilty?
Question
Can I have a copy of the photograph?
Question
How can I be sure that the camera is accurate?
Question
I was only a few miles an hour over the limit. Why should I be prosecuted?
Question
The road was empty at the time. The road conditions meant it was safe to drive faster, why should I be prosecuted?
Question
I have a clean driving licence and umpteen years' incident-free driving. Is this taken into consideration?
Question
I've lost my driving licence. What should I do?
Question
How long will the penalty points stay on my licence?
Question
Can I just pay the fine? I'll even pay more than the fine and avoid getting the penalty points.
Question
I’ve heard that in some areas you can take an ’improved driving’ course that costs more than the fine but means you don’t get the penalty points.
Question
Can I pay the £60 in instalments?
Question
What happens if I plead not guilty?
Question
What happens if I ignore the Notice of Intended Prosecution?
Question
Where does the money raised from speeding fines go to?
