I'd accepted the £2 and was happy to pay it. Now it's in the order of £20 a year. I'll stand by what I originally said - it's about the cost being pushed up when they've got a nice big reliant user base. But it's still a great service. Not sure if it's saved me anything in fines though... Since I wrote this they’re now charging a yearly fee, rather than the monthly one. I’d accepted the £2 and was happy to pay it.

Given the effort involved in maintaining and updating this, there's hardly room to grumble. It's easily found in the usual places anyway if you're that bothered ;) I’ll bet a week’s wages it’s already saved you a lot more than £2 in saved fines and points by now, especially down some unfamiliar road with hidden gatsos in the middle of hte night.

It knows about every camera I've seen, and it also has lots of locations where mobile cameras are likely to be. For 2 quid you don't really have much to lose in trying it out.
