28 million people in the UK live in areas with 20mph zones

Police forces throughout Britain issued a record 216,000 fines for exceeding 20mph speed limits in 2023. This figure is four times that of 2018. Despite promises from the UK government that statutory guidance would be issued to councils to ensure 20mph zones would not be introduced without local consent, the rollout of these zones has continued with several new schemes introduced throughout the country. Campaign group 20’s plenty estimates that 28 million people in the UK (equivalent to around 40 per cent of the population) live in council areas which operate... Read full article

AI camera trials to catch out motoring offenders extended to 2025

Trials of AI speed cameras which can detect drivers committing other offences such as using a mobile phone behind the wheel or failing to wear a seatbelt will be extended to 2025.

Intoxication a trending contributory factor in e-scooter crashes

As e-scooters continue to grow in popularity and with regulations slowly catching up, road safety charity Brake has urged decision-makers to consider the possibilities of other small, personal electric transport technologies, such as electric ‘golf buggies’, replacing cars for short journeys in the future. The charity says that it is important to forward-plan for such possibilities in order to ensure that relevant legislation can be quickly implemented for the safety of all road users. Currently, legislation and regulations around e-scooters are largely... Read full article

Police could be given the power to use driving licence photographs for facial recognition searches

Police could be given the power to use driving licence photographs for facial recognition searches

The UK government is working to introduce a new law change which will enable police forces to run facial recognition searches through a database containing headshots of every person in Britain who holds a driving licence. The change could be made possible through a new criminal justice bill, but further driver information regulations will need to be established in consultation with police bodies once the bill is passed. This comes as the police are increasingly utilising live facial recognition, which compares faces captured on live camera feeds to those contained... Read full article
