Fewer fines for speeding

The police handed out 9.7 million fines for traffic offences last year, down 1.2 million on 2010, according to public prosecution department figures.


In particular, fewer people were fined for driving too fast. The number of speeding tickets fell by 900,000. This is because traffic control systems were more often out of action because of road works, the department said.
