The number of speeding fines in the UK rose by 14% in 2024, totaling 3.3 million. This increase is attributed to the growing use of AI-powered traffic cameras, which can detect various driving offenses. AI cameras are now deployed by several police forces, including the Metropolitan Police and North Wales. These cameras can identify not only speeding but also other violations like phone use and seatbelt non-compliance. Durham reported the highest number of offenses caught by AI cameras, with 951 incidents in 2024. Penalties for speeding can range from £100 to £2,500, depending on the severity of the offense.
