New study finds UK's 'worst speed camera' - and it catches almost 500 drivers a week

That equates to almost 70 motorists a day

The UK's most prolific speed camera has been found in a new study. Located on the A38 Kings Mill Road East/Sutton Road junction in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, the camera caught an astonishing 24,311 drivers in the 12 months ending on April 5.

That equates to 467.5 motorists a week, almost 70 a day, or 2.7 every hour. And with drivers often facing fines of around £100, points on their licence, or the cost of a speed awareness course , it is thought that the camera could have raked in as much as £2.4million.

The study, launched by This is Money to find 'Britain's worst speed traps', looked at more than 7,000 cameras across England, Wales, Scotland , and Northern Ireland. It found that the second-busiest camera was on the A6 St Mar
