ANPR Cameras

Post by WHL »

Whilst sitting at a Larnaca road side cafe this morning, enjoying a nice cappuccino and croissant, a police car pulls up opposite, with ANPR cameras on the back, then half a dozen police men were standing about a hundred yards further down the road, well with in minutes car after car was being stopped and the police were writing tickets, they were not inspecting the cars, so im guessing it was for road tax or insurance matters, I was there for about forty minutes and by the amount of drivers that had tickets issued to them, the finances of the Republic will be richer today.

40 minute coffee break? I'm lucky if I can find 10 minutes and that often at my desk! :)

Nothing like having some breakfast by the side of the beach, I did ask my wife if our car insurance was up to date before moving off.

Car insurance companies usually send you a reminder. I have just paid mine this morning (ouch)
The road tax you get months of time to get that done. I am not sure how you would go on if your MOT was a day out of date here..

The trouble is, without a quicker turnover in the courts, a lot of these tickets will just disappear. They really need to set up some dedicated Traffic Courts, so that judges can get through them without clogging up the rest of the system. It would more than pay for itself.

Could these tickets be on the spot fines, with points , where they dont go to court, if the person pays up within say fourteen days?

Well that is what the existing system is. But all that happens is that people don't pay and the fines end up in court, where they seem to get swallowed.
