On my way home from work I often pass a speed trap (read Ford Explorer with LOTS of gizmos inside it) and whilst I appreciate the requirement for speed enforcement I find that devices that just take a snapshot of you do not take into account any preceding events that may be explained to a police officer if you get pulled over.
Sure, cameras and the like make 24 hour monitoring and enforcement easy but I challenge anyone to maintain a constant speed at all times, even with cruise control (which is virtually useless for city driving).
Ranting a bit sorry and went a bit off topic. I think that if you have had no offenses for 35 years then they will take that into account, my landlady did just that a few years ago.
Cheers,
Simon
