Speed cameras are more advanced and efficient than ever before and if you re caught you face a minimum of a £ 100 fine with the potential of being disqualified from driving altogether for repeat offences. But where in the country are you most likely to be caught out by a speed camera? To find out Go Shorty insurance submitted Freedom of Information requests to police forces around the country. The UK regions with the most cameras 1. London / Total fixed cameras: 995 / Fixed cameras per km2: 631 While it might not be surprising to know that London has the most speed camera sites overall (with just under a thousand) the capital also has the most even when we look per square kilometre with 631. These include spot speed sites red-light cameras speed on green sites and average speed cameras. 2. Derbyshire / Total fixed cameras: 958 / Fixed cameras per km2: 365 The area with the second-highest number of camera sites was Derbyshire which had 958 just 37 fewer than London and 365 per square kilometre. The largely rural county covers much of the Peak District and the highest speed recorded by a camera in the past three years was 148 miles per hour. 3. West Yorkshire Police / Total fixed cameras: 402 / Fixed cameras per km2: 198 As well as having the third-highest number of cameras overall the county of West Yorkshire also had the third-most per square kilometre (198). The fastest speed that was recorded by any police force that responded to our request was an incredible 163mph which was recorded in Humberside which is almost 100mph above the speed limit. The driver in question was caught on the M62 between Junction 37 and 38.
