A council has become the first in the country to hand out fines to Brits breaking 20mph speed limits.
Previously, only police could fine drivers for speeding, while councils could issue penalties for ‘moving traffic’ offences such as driving in the bus lane, or stopping in yellow boxes at junctions.
But Wandsworth Council in London has suffered a spate of complaints from residents about speeding drivers, with research in the area finding a quarter of drivers ignore the 20mph speed limit.
