Cheap car insurers say cheese. Police say thanks.

Quoteheaven.co.uk, the cheap car insurers, are giving their cheap car insuring drivers a spot of advice this weekend, and it goes something a little like this. Urgently travelling drivers looking for a speeding ticket aren’t going to be disappointed by discovering that police are now able to have snap-shots taken of the accused as they make their way (speedily) past a new breed of Gatso. That’s right, cheap car insurers to the masses, and voice of reason Quoteheaven.co.uk, are doing their bit by informing you that Plod are targeting drivers who falsely claim that they weren’t behind the wheel of the vehicle registered in their name - and that someone (with access to keys) must have stolen it - by photographing the driver (whoever it is) as they (speed) past. Cheap car insurers, Quoteheaven.co.uk, have found out that it’s all part of a new clampdown on the growing number of drivers who attempt to sway the authorities by leading them to believe “It wasn’t me gov!”, so as to avoid liable prosecution. Quoteheaven.co.uk, the cheap car insurers with a conscience, tell us that cops are trialling a new generation speed camera which works like a photo booth in a bus station. Only on the road. And photographing a driver's almost respectable face, and not that of the top half of a students head for their Union card. The vehicle's registration number is also, as usual, found on the same damning evidence. Evidence you cannot hide from.

Cheap car insurer, Quoteheaven.co.uk says that the photos from the cameras, which flout convention and face oncoming drivers, will be used as evidence in cases that arouse suspicion. So that will be most of them then. And to cut pointless name calling time, and solicitors making more cash then they’re entitled to, those found to be attempting to give false names will be asked to reconsider their claim, (politely) or face a rap for perverting the course of justice. First on the ‘taking lazy policing to altogether dizzying heights’, sorry, road safety bandwagon, are the boys in blue representing the Essex speed camera partnership. This lot have successfully trialled the new camera units and have used the ‘photo-fits’ provided from them (not sure if they come out in a strip from beneath the Gatso box or not?) in more than 1,000 cases. Other partnerships, including the shire of Derby are eagerly awaiting the results. Experts, and the criminally work-shy, are hoping that the system could also be used to catch drivers of cars with cloned number plates too.

Paul Smith forms words which are then co-erced into knowledgeable sentences for the motoring campaign ‘Safe Speed’; so therefore he was paid the other day to say just this: "The whole system is based on bluff; fixed penalties support the court system and without it, it would collapse. These extra photos are extending this bluff and are not practical evidence. Taking pictures of a driver is just another threat to make the driver pay up, rather than them taking it to court." Which, cheap car insurer, Quoteheaven.co.uk must admit, to liking the cut of this mans wordy jib. All this hoo!ing and hah!ing came about because of a study last year that estimated some 700,000 drivers claim they were not driving after being snapped; in order to avoid collecting points on their license. Knowing that in this case, points don’t alas, mean prizes. Unless you consider a spell in clink as something to look forward to. Something that is there to look forward to however is the cheap car insurance that Quoteheaven.co.uk affords their cheap car insuring, non-speeding drivers. Saying that, whether you speed or otherwise, you may want to give the cheap car insurer Quoteheaven.co.uk a call anyway. I’m sure they’ll help you out of your pickle.
