Now, from a legal standpoint, where does this leave you and me, the
driver? This is flagrant double standards. The REAL reason they
can't/don't want to tell you is that their rate of detection might
only be 75%ish.
That may or may not be true but I expect the real reason they can't
tell you is the information isn't available in real time at the
call centre. The system probably works by generating a list of
recorded number plates and comparing it at the end of the day with
the list that paid.
