The number of drivers caught speeding in London has soared by almost two-thirds after police were given high-tech new enforcement cameras.
A total of 443,609 offences have been recorded by the Met since last April – up 64 per cent on the 270,458 in the same period the previous year.
This is partly down to the introduction of five mobile “LaserCam” devices that combine a speed gun and video camera – enabling the targeting of new “hot spot” locations, including at night. About 40,000 of the offences were caught by LaserCam.
