Almost three quarters of all motoring offences concern speeding, recent figures have revealed.
In 2021, a total of 49,027 speeding offences were caught on cameras across the Northumbria Police force area - not far short of 1,000 a week. Drivers have to pay a minimum £100 fine and have three points added to their licence for speeding penalties, unless they are given the option to attend a speed awareness course.
With the cost of living as it is, the last thing any of us need is an extra payments coming our way and it must be bitter pill to swallow for some drivers.
