The world has gone quite mad. On every trip apart from very local ones, I have my TomTom switched on so it will scream when there's a camera on the route - to go from my home to the Costco warehouse in Brum involves passing underneath at least 30 cameras if go via the motorway and about 12 if I use the ordinary roads. Driving "responsibly" for years I didn't get tickets but I'm sure I crept over the limit here and there but like most experienced drivers I generally drove (and still do) according to the prevailing road conditions. But meanwhile, there's a certain chief constable saying that you booked if you go over the limit by just ONE mile an hour (and I always wonder if he would throw the first stone at the sinner when he's in the news).
But it always interests me to see people 1) speeding excessively 2) undertaking 3) tailgating and 4) behaving quite badly - cutting people up etc but there aren't any cameras set up to record that sort of thing!
Go for the jugular, Frontstep and absolutely insist they respond to you (I really do like srdl's comment above - if you can any firm with a potential cost they soon buckle under!)
btw: I've been looking at Dashcams in the last couple of weeks- (following another post here I realise that I really must flash the cash for one) - but I wonder: can you set them to record your own mph while driving? If you can, it would be very interesting to see which record would win out in circumstances like yours.
