Overview
- Home Office data show 2.9 million motoring offences in England and Wales outside London in 2024, up 9% on 2023, with 2.5 million cases (86%) for speeding.
- Enforcement outcomes were split between retraining courses (51%), fines (37%) and court action (12%).
- The Metropolitan Police recorded nearly 600,000 offences on a separate system in 2024, a 19% rise that is not included in the main dataset.
- Transport for London and the Met will pilot radar speed cameras at up to 10 sites that operate without a flash or road markings and can monitor up to five lanes in both directions.
- Road-safety groups urged firmer, more visible enforcement, while insurer-commissioned survey claims about repeat speeding after awareness courses were reported with contradictory figures.
