Warning : New Number Plate Recogition Camera on the Wirral

Hooton roundabout at Eastham M53 junction now has several Number Plate Recognition Camera's fitted covering all angles of the roundabout.

Basically if you have no TAX or MOT or Insurance then your nicked.......

These camera's take your number plate and check it against electronic databases which check if the owner has a driving licence, Road Tax and Insurance. If you dont have any of them then your summonsed to appear in court to be procecuted


This is not the exact camera but its what they look like (Descreet)

This is all a bit like Big Brother

However i agree with catching un-insured drivers etc etc as we all pay for these people through our own high insurance premiums

Whats everyone else think ?

Great idea and hopefully, insurance premiums will go down because of it.

Agreed

Great idea. People who dont follow the laws of the road dont deserve the be on the road and i'll laugh when they get caught.

I may not agree with the ridiculous costs motorists have to pay to run a car but i do it,and if i didnt wanna MOT my car then id take it off the road or simply not own it.MOT/TAX/insurance/license are neccesary. Shame tax is so much eh?

what are the cameras by the little cheff in eastham?

Has ne one passed through da A41 nr Wirral Met carlet? cuz ders dis weird lookin cam der aswel but i neva no wot dat is, bin der for some time now. its kinda grey blue ish lookin. is dat a "Number Plate Recogition Camera" aswel?.

i thought that one is for TAX

what happens if you dont have a number plate on the front, lol

a bobby will pull u

I somtimes use my mates car who doesnt drive but my insurance lets me drive other cars how would that work.

Basically your not insured Tupac.

Your insurance has driver extension by the sounds of it. This allows you to drive other cars with only 3rd party cover on the very strict condition that car is already insured by someone else.

If that car isnt already insured then your NOT covered.

If you could do that why do people like me pay Thousands every year for trade policies ?

Be carefull bud

I am told that the ones on the roundabout (By the little chef in eastam) are the only number plate recognition camera's on the wirral.

If those ones by carlet park were tax cameras then they would be number plate recognition camera's. TAX camera's dont check your tax, they check your number plate and tfrom the number plate check if the car is taxed. Those camera's are traffic monitering camera's only. Basically moniter the volume of traffic and to see if there are any traffic jams etc etc...

Cheers scooby didnt know that

are the number plate ones near the glegg arms on the chester high road? have a look just after clegg going towards chester
