A77 Bogend to Hansel Village route among Scotland's top 20 worst roads for speeding offences
Police Scotland confirmed the number of drivers caught out by cameras across the country. Police Scotland confirmed most of the 'worst' 20 roads for speeding offences in the past year. According to the data gathered by Legal Expert by FOI requests to all police forces in the UK, the A77 route from Bogend to Hansel Village, registered 1,180 offences and is ranked 15th on the list. Those offences led to 731 people receiving a Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty Notice (COFPN). In Scotland, drivers caught speeding by speed cameras were sent nearly 50,000 Conditional Offers of a COFPNs in the space of just one year. Data further reveals that Police Scotland informed 49,609 drivers that they had committed a speeding offence in the year ending March 2025. The figure only accounts for offences captured through fixed, mobile or average speed cameras. Speeding drivers get three points added to their license as a minimum. Reaching 12 points within three years will disqualify them from driving. The fixed penalty for speeding is £100. That means a whopping £4,960,900 worth of potential fines, just for drivers who were caught on camera. The busiest camera in the country, according to the figures, is an average speed camera on the A9. Drivers going southbound from Inverness to Dunblane committed 8,413 offences, which works out at close to one every hour on average. Those offences led to 4,229 people receiving a COFPN. Second on the list was the A90 between Dundee and Stonehaven, where 7,994 drivers exceeded the speed limit. The A90 appears twice more in the top 20. Part of its Edinburgh leg, between Burnshot Flyover and Cammo Road, is fifth on the list, with 4,296 offences, while the intersection of Dundee's Kingsway West and Charlotte Street is tenth, with 1,512 offences. The force would not reveal which roads with fixed cameras had the most cases, stating: "We are unable to provide any location data for Fixed Speed cameras as to do so would reveal information about which sites were live at any given time."
