Cameras cut speed offences
THE number of motorists fined after being caught on camera speeding or driving through red lights in Scotland has halved in three years.
A total of 62,832 people were fined in 2009-10 compared to 70,906 the previous year and 127,607 in 2006-07, Scottish Government figures published yesterday showed.
The report also said deaths and serious injuries on stretches of roads where the 410 fixed and mobile cameras operate had been cut by nearly two-thirds in 2008-10 compared to the three years before each was introduced. Average speeds have also been reduced.
