One in three British motorists fined every year, as experts say automation has created a 'cash cow'

As many as 12 million drivers receive a penalty notice each year, a study by the RAC Foundation found, the equivalent of one every 2.5 seconds.

It means almost a third of Britain's 40 million motorists are now receiving a penalty notice annually, bringing in more than £800 million in revenue.

This is in addition to the 1.2 million drivers who are now attending speed awareness courses instead of receiving a penalty and points on their licences.
