Police officers dished out one speeding fine for every minute of last year as they cracked down on dangerous driving. 

More than 500,000 fines were issued over 2025, double the number issued six years ago. 

The figures are only fines from officers - not speeding cameras. 

AA road safety spokesman Dylan Thomsen says it's unclear exactly what drove this data, but it's likely there was extra pressure on the police.

"Road policing officers were sometimes covering other duties and having to do those kinds of things, spread themselves around. But in the last couple of years, that has changed, there's been a big focus, once again, on being back out on the roads."
