afternoon all,
Does anyone know if you can contact a council to see if you’ve been caught on a static camera ?
Think I might of about a week ago , it’s a hire van and I want to find out before it lands on the Bosses desk .

Not sure the Council can help you on that. The Speed Camera data is processed by the police and they have 14 days to to serve notice on you :( With it being a hire van the notice will go the the hirer and they will notify the Police who the driver was. The Police will then re-direct it to the hiree, meaning your employer. :(

Oh, that's not desperate, could have been worse. :) Of course a van is limited to 60mph so at least you were within that :)

I’m probably being a bit paranoid I don’t want my clean license blemished.
So have I got this right Plod have 14 days to notify the hire company?

Why not advise your boss it may be on its way. Often the best way to deal with these things. Shows integrity on your part.

If your boss is your boss and it won't go to those morons in HR, should be right. I've always been sympathetic if speeds aren't silly, not in built up areas, near schools etc.

Was your employer putting you under time pressure?

Was it on hire from 'Enterprise' by chance? Just cos it has 'Enterprise' on it doesn't mean you have to drive it at warp speed ;):D

Hi all,
Bit of an update on this matter and may be useful if anyone finds themselves in the same position.
I’ve managed to get through to a Live Chat with police control room who run the camera network in Bedfordshire.
Simply give them your reg and they can search the entire camera network in Beds/ Herts/ Cams.
Good news is nothing for my reg has appeared.
They did say they have 14 days to send the notice as AJD said, but thought after 8 days it would have been done.
So, so far so good.

lucky boy then

Well there is still a small chance it’s stuck somewhere, but the officer advised that the type of camera it was is Instant.
It was one of those newer looking skinny ones , not sure what they are called ?

It was hidden behind overgrown bushes, plus the 50 sign was also obscured. That was going to be my defence.
