Just one set of average speed cameras has clocked up nearly £1.5 million in fines from almost 14,000 drivers over the three years of its "experimental" operation.

The cameras cost £843,000 to install and were set up when Staffordshire County Council reduced the speed limit from 70mph to 60mph.

The fines go to the government treasury and not the county council.

It's reported that motorists were given an amnesty and not fined for the first 6 months after the cameras were erected to give regular users of the A38 a chance to become familiar with the cameras.
