Common speed camera myths the AA warns drivers to ignore

The AA has warned drivers to ignore common speed camera myths to stay safe on the road.

Ever since the first speed camera was installed in the UK back in 1991, drivers have been trying to trick the system and avoid being caught. One of the ways drivers have been trying to do this is by changing lanes in a bid to fool the speed calculations on an average speed camera network.

However, this has been debunked by the AA along with a number of other speed camera myths. They said: "While older speed cameras could’ve been ‘tricked’, more advanced cameras now use multiple sets of cameras at each point to track all the lanes and compare average speeds."
