Speeding fines (1056A/22)

Request

The total number of speeding fines issued for offences SP10, SP20, SP30, SP40, and SP50 during the 2020/2021 financial year.

Additionally, I would like to request the total revenue earned from all speeding fines during the 2020/2021 financial year.

Response

Please note that these data should be interpreted with caution.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.

During 2020/2021 the total number of speeding fines issued for the following offences are

SP10 and SP20 – there is no recorded information held for these.

SP30 – 38805

SP40 – 15424

SP50 – 2044

In addition, WMP do not issue fines, fines are issued by the Courts, the Police detect and process offences. Any payments are made directly to Her Majesties Courts and Tribunal Services (HMCTS) not West Midlands Police. The value element would need to be requested from HMCTS.
