Episode Details

Over 36,000 speeding tickets are being erased thanks to a major glitch in 154 speed cameras across UK motorways — a technical hiccup that caused cameras to issue fines even when drivers were legally within the speed limit. The flaw, exposed in October, affected Smart Motorways like the M1, M6, and M25, where timing mismatches between speed detection and limit changes triggered wrongful penalties. Police have now lost confidence in these systems and are halting all new ticket processing from them. National Highways admits over 2,650 camera malfunctions since 2021, while the Home Office continues testing — no green light yet for official use. An investigation is underway into how the issue was handled. For those 36,000 drivers? Pure relief.
