An increase in the number of speeding drivers across the UK has sparked more members of the public to take speed monitoring into their own hands and these groups claim lawmakers are refusing to act, despite being presented with evidence of reckless driving and even collisions. 

 

Since 2022, speeding fines nationally have increased by around 15%, according to freedom of information requests. In response, the number of police-backed organisations, such as Community Speedwatch groups, has risen to 2500 and the number of volunteers operating them to more than 17,000.
