1. Surely the mobile speed cameras should not be recording my vehicle in the first place if I am not speeding.
2. How can they prove actual spacing from a photograph.

Seems yet another way screwing more money out of the motorist. Plod had no bother at all sending the N.I.P re this 'illegible' plate. Pathetic!
Even more annoying as couple of weeks ago someone reversed into my wifes car and he admitted he was not insured. I rang plod to see what they would do to help and they said they would not get involved as nobody injured. I asked if it was illegal to drive without insurance to which copper admitted it was but still wanted nowt to do with it. So looks like u can drive round with no insurance, crash into someone, admit to them u have no insurance so nowt they can do to claim off you! However woe betide you if u have 10mm to much space in between your registration numbers. They will have u!!!!!!!!!
MAJOR CRIME!!
