Cheating Speed Cameras

Brits are cheating speed cameras 14 May 2005 Sneaky Brits are cheating the speed cameras by swapping licence points with their partners, according to new research released today. The report commissioned by Churchill Car Insurance reveals that 10 million* drivers would swap points with their nearest and dearest, rather than taking the points themselves. Speed cameras capture the licence plate, but not necessarily the driver, so Brits said that if they reached nine points, they would ask their partner to take the next three points to allow them to keep their licence. Cars have become such an important part of modern life that drivers cannot face the thought of living without their wheels.

Unless driving habits change, speeding will become a real threat to the modern motorist.” It’s not only speeding offences that people are willing to take the blame for.
