    Check this out!

    Did you know that every time your car goes past a speed camera, even1mph over the set limit, it is registered and put on a database?
    You only get a ticket if you are way over the limit or, (this is the bit that I didn't know)
    If you receive over 10 near misses, you will be classed as a serial offender and get a ticket the next time you go just over the limit.

    This is why you hear of people being done for 34mph in a 30mph limit area, whilst others doing 39 do not.

    You can check what has been registered against your vehicle at the following web address:

    What ever next!

    cheers

    Funnily enough, my car got clocked in Cornwall too. Before I clicked on the 'view photo' link I was all read to phone the DVLA to argue that I haven't even been anywhere near Cornwall this year. All was explained when I clicked on the photo link and saw it was my mother-in-law that was driving:)
