ROAD users spent a whopping £114.6 million on speed camera fines in the 2005/06 financial year.
That's 1% more than the previous year, even though there were less penalties issued this year, the rise has been attributed to a more efficient revenue collection system
Some counties claimed a 100% success rate of converting the tickets into cash, while counties like Surrey only successfully chased up 47% of the tickets issued.
The actual number of tickets issued varied from Leicestershire which had an increase of 48%, where as Derbyshire recorded a decrease of 30%.
The most money collected from speeding fines was in London, a huge £9.45 million, which works out at just over £1.20 per resident.
The largest amount per person was North Wales, at an average of £5.80 per resident. The home of anti-speed cop Richard Brunstrom had to top the list! Clearly we like winding it on in Wales.
