Two drivers in the West Midlands were caught speeding at 108mph by hidden cameras
West Midlands: Two drivers were caught speeding at 108mph on dual carriageways. They thought they got away with it, but hidden speed cameras had other plans.
These incidents happened last October and November. The drivers were in an Audi A5 and a Volkswagen Golf. They were clocked on the A452 Collector Road and A45 Coventry Road.
Average speed cameras monitor speeds over a distance. The drivers likely didn’t realize they were being recorded. West Midlands Police are currently processing these cases.
These drivers could face serious penalties. They might get six or more penalty points and hefty fines. They could even end up in court and face a driving ban.
Another driver was caught going 107mph in a BMW I4 on Small Heath Highway. This information came from a freedom of information request about speeding in the region.
Average speed cameras are now common in Birmingham and the Black Country. They catch thousands of drivers each year. Last year, a Mercedes E-Class was clocked at 120mph on the M6, the fastest recorded speed in the area.
