If you live in the cities you are lucky.

The low rate of issuing penalty points in London is due in part to a policy of offering some speeding motorists the chance to attend a speed awareness course as an alternative to a fine and penalty points.

But a spokesman for the London Safety Camera Partnership pointed to other enforcement problems in the capital.

"A lack of court time has hindered our efforts to increase the number of prosecutions for these offences," the spokesman said.

"We are working with the Courts Service and Crown Prosecution Service to increase the amount of court time we are given to pursue prosecutions."

Anyone know if average speed cameras allow the 10%
