Excessive speed is one of the most common reasons for serious injuries and deaths on our road.
Alongside drink and drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone and careless driving, speeding is one of the ‘fatal five’ contributory factors responsible for the majority of serious road traffic collisions and deaths
Speed cameras play an important role in keeping our roads safe, acting as a deterrent against speeding drivers.
The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence, but depending on the seriousness of the offence the punishment could be more severe.
Here in Peterborough, fixed speed cameras work to prevent speeding on major roads such as the A47 and A1, as well as some inner-city routes.
