The highest speed recorded by drivers accelerating after speed cameras in 30mph zones was 57mph
New figures have revealed that almost one in ten drivers were found to be speeding just 100 metres after passing a speed camera.
“The fear of getting points on their licence or a £100 fixed penalty notice seems to be a bigger influence on driving behaviour than the well-known safety risks of speeding. Go Safe Casualty Reduction Officer, Gareth Thomas said:"Legally, we don't have to be visible. I could camouflage myself if I wanted to - but it's all about being fair,and preventing an accident. Even if I parked my van and went for a walk somewhere, it would deter people from speeding right away."If drivers choose to flash to warn others about a speed van, they could be in breach of the law.
