Belfast Speed Camera Brings In Quarter Of A Million Pounds
Article by: rob brady Date: 29 Oct 2013
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has reported that one speed camera on the outskirts of Belfast is responsible for £250,000 of fines being issued to drivers in just one year.
Out of a total of 48,423 drivers across Northern Ireland, the camera on Saintfield Road snapped over 4,000 motorists during 2012.
A total of 9,286 drivers were caught by the camera in the three-year reported period.
PSNI Superintendent David Moore commented, "Speed cameras absolutely work as a deterrent. They are one of a range of education, enforcement and engineering initiatives which the PSNI, with its partners undertake to drive down the number of people who are killed on our roads."
He continued, "The bottom line is if people slowed down and drove at a proper speed for the conditions, if people didn't drink and or take drugs when they're driving, if people wore their seatbelts, if people stayed off their phones and if people paid more attention to the act of driving, there would be far fewer people killed on the roads every year."
