Ten speed cameras bring in £12m The camera with the third most fines was on the A2034 in Southampton, and caught 10,985 drivers in 2012, which was more than three times the 3,234 caught in 2010. Roaming cameras were just as lucrative, with a temporary average speed camera at the junction of the M1 and M6, near Rugby, Warwickshire, generating more than £1m in tickets to 17,156 drivers over just 18 months. But one speeding motorist travelling at 133mph escaped without a fine because there was no record of who owned the BMW M3. The TaxPayers" Alliance said: "The authorities should focus on measures that improve the safety of the roads, not simply maximise the amount brought in from fines." Road safety campaigners say cameras help save lives by reducing speeds at accident blackspots.
