Speeding fines – what happens if you are caught?
If a speed camera catches you exceeding the limit, you will typically receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) within 14 days. The standard fixed penalty is a £100 fine and three penalty points on your licence, though more serious cases can result in a court summons and a fine of up to 175% of your weekly income.
Our speeding fines guide explains the penalty bands and what to expect at each stage. You can also read about:
How many speed cameras are in the SpeedCamerasUK database?
The database currently contains 4,291 active speed camera locations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all submitted by members of the public and updated regularly.
Was the camera I passed working – did it flash?
Whether a flash means you have been caught depends on the camera type. A Gatso typically fires twice in quick succession. However, many newer cameras use infrared flash that is not visible to the naked eye. Our speed camera FAQ section covers flash patterns for all major camera types.
Do SPECS average speed cameras work at night?
Yes. SPECS cameras use infrared illumination and operate 24 hours a day in all weather conditions. Your average speed is calculated between each camera point regardless of the time of day.
Can I submit a new speed camera location?
Yes. Use the Report New Camera Location form to submit a camera. Include the road name, town, speed limit, direction and camera type where known. All submissions are reviewed before being added to the database.
Are speed camera detectors legal in the UK?
GPS-based speed camera detectors are legal in the UK. Devices that use radar detection are in a legal grey area, while active jammers are illegal. See our full guide to the legal position for more detail.
What are speed cameras like abroad?
Speed enforcement varies significantly by country. Many European countries operate stricter penalties than the UK. Read our guide to speed cameras abroad before driving on the continent.
