Speedcamera uk

Hi there,

I did enquire about this a while ago, with many of the online, "unofficial" map upgraders and it seems there is no way this information can currently be added to the maps in the nav.

I just use Waze on my phone as the routing is 1000 better than BMW RTTI!
 
Thanks acid bit annoying as I like to have everything built in... Was thinking of getting a road Angel anyone got one and can shed some light?
 
If you have your phone and use Waze it will warn of camera locations. My wife uses her car sat nav but has Waze on too ... the only snag is that it drains your phone battery.
 
Well I have found http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/subscription.php as been the most complete speed camera database and is updated daily, with static and mobile. As police forces need to report were speed cameras are going to be possitioned. Been using this system for 5 years - and not found anything better.

However you do need your phone - in my case iphone on all the time
 
Went shopping to Glasgow at the weekend and got done by a van in a new location "for me". Reckon I was about 75-80 average as I came around and got the brakes on. 4 points off in Feb and another 3 back on!

Mobile camera so nav wouldn't have helped anyway but it would be good to have this. Sometimes I use Navmi for the phone in the family car which has a function where other users can report a mobile camera which alerts everyone else. A mobile camera community.

Irrelevant anyway as I wasn't using it this time!! :(

Whereabouts was it?
 
Just after Tynedrum on the double width downhill bit before Crianlarich. A van had pulled over to let me by and I went, turned the sweeping bend and there he was half on the verge and the edge of the road. We will see what happens but there definitely was a guy in the back next to the camera as I saw him. Was doing 50 by the time I drove by. All depends where he was focused as I got on the brakes quickly.
 
Have seen them there before.
Always have a look down there and loads of times there are vans parked and in the back of your mind you think its the cops and hold back.
Hopefully if you were 75-80 you might get let off.
 
Dont think it matters now Ronk. If your over and they have evidence then that's it as far as I can tell.

My father was done in a 30 zone a few years ago and the stated speed of the offence was 31mph!!!

His only driving offence ever and he will be 70 this year.
 
1 mph over - not the way to get folk on side is it?
I'm coming up to the same age as your old fella and like him I've been very very lucky.
 
That's it confirmed. Caught at 76 so may have four and not three points again. Will find out soon enough.
 
Was driving the family wagon at the time so my Mrs got the letter letting her know they had camera evidence etc. She has to reply saying that I was driving and depending on their view they will either take me to court or give me a fixed penalty. 76 is borderline for court in which case 4 points would be likely. Fixed penalty as well as cheaper would only be 3 points. No points on my licence at the moment but I was looking forward to getting the last lot completely removed in Febuary and now I will have some new ones!! :x
 
They seem more strict north of Hadrians wall.

I'm sure 76mph further south is the norm? There ought to be come continuity throughout the entire UK.

The PocketGPSWorld database previously mentioned contains known Mobile sites as well as fixed cameras. It will run as a standalone application (CamerAlert) on Android and iPhone - you can still use whatever satnav you want - and will also run on PNDs (TomTom, Garmin, etc).

Whatever happened to the 10% + 2mph ?

That was always an ACPO guideline, but there's no requirement for any police force to observe it.
