DRIVERS caught by speed cameras still have a more than two-out-of-five chance of getting away with their offence, according to latest figures from the Department of Justice.

Also, the number of motoring offences cases being dropped, because the time limit within which the prosecution could be taken had expired, has dramatically increased this year to more than 7,500 statute barred offences.

‘Spoiled’ speed camera images continue to hamper the penalty points system.
