"Don't try to beat the speed cameras!" That's the message from the AA as it looks to encourage drivers to ignore some common myths and stick to the rules.
Since the first speed camera was installed in the UK in 1991, a number of tricks and tips have often been cited as ways avoid a ticket and three points on your licence. But, as reported by the Liverpool Echo, the AA warned drivers must ignore these dangerous myths. The motoring association said: "You shouldn't be trying to avoid getting caught. It's safer for everyone to stick to the limits - and the law - by not speeding in the first place."
A 24-year study carried out by the London School of Economics and ending in 2016 found that speed cameras have reduced motoring deaths by between 58 and 68%. Urban myths pop up all the time about how best to "trick" camera.
