information seems quite accurate for the specific accidents I am aware of in our area.
Makes interesting "viewing", certainly even for our small village.

The functionality is terrible (the info box covers the zoom tool, and you can only 'pan' by grabbing an incident)

Doesnt show my crash on it and that shut a road for a day, prob just aswell, i would be very interested what the report would say and just how they got any kinda detailed information about it. Surely a freedom of information request wouldnt work for things like that.

cancel that, about a mile out on my crash. I take it back the website makes out they have more information than they actually do, the reports are pretty poor tbh.




thats it, accurate detail on my age and age of car though, page2 contains bugger all. Not worth the quid i paid, but i wanted to see what info they had.

I just checked Whifflet Street in Coatbridge. Reason being, they installed a new speed camera here a year or so ago.

There has been a total of 2 minor accidents over the last 5 years on this stretch!

So why the camera???

Locals complaining about dangerous driving or earlier accidents perhaps?
