Thousands of speeding fines could be cancelled after a “technical issue” triggered some speed cameras in England to incorrectly penalise motorists. National Highways has apologised for the error, which meant a “very small number” of drivers had been wrongly fined since 2021. Police forces have temporarily stopped issuing fines from variable cameras until they have confidence nobody will be wrongly prosecuted. Safety was never compromised, and we are working with policing to ensure nobody is incorrectly prosecuted in future. If you are affected by this issue, you will be contacted and details of the compensation scheme will be shared in due course.”
