Are Speed Cameras Making Us Worse Drivers? & How to Avoid Speeding Fines in the UK

After 40 years behind the wheel, I’ve never felt more anxious driving in the UK—here’s why, and how to stay legal without losing your focus

You knew where it stood, what it did, and how it operated. It flashed, you flinched, and life went on. But those days are fading fast.
