Northern drivers continue to put fellow road users and their student car insurance at risk by breaking the speed limit, according to the Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety.
The influential organisation, which is keen to raise public awareness of the need for responsible driving, has developed a website upon which the county's worrying speeding statistics will be shown.
People who access the website will able to find out how many speeding offences have been recorded by each of Lancashire's 285 cameras, and may be surprised to discover that many drivers are prepared to risk a fine despite the recent increases in the costs of petrol and young driver car insurance.
The figures reveal that 808 people were caught driving at excessive speeds along Garstang Road in Preston last year. A further 642 motorists were filmed breaking the 30mph speed limit along Gatso on Portway, not far from Preston Docks.
The Leader of Lancashire County Council said, "We have given an undertaking, as have the police, that speed cameras are not there as a way to raise money from motorists, they are there to reduce accidents on Lancashire's roads.
"These cameras are part of a determination to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on Lancashire's roads and we are determined to get that number down."
In related news, a leading price comparison website, which has been visited by many student car insurance customers, recently revealed that the average motorist has 81 near-miss accidents during their lives.
