Thousands of speeding fines could be cancelled after a “technical issue” saw some speed cameras triggered incorrectly.National Highways has apologised for the error which, it said, meant a “very small number” of drivers had been fined incorrectly since 2021.It is understood a software update created a problem with variable speed cameras on some A roads and motorways that led to drivers being incorrectly detected as speeding after the speed limit had increased.National Highways chief executive Nick Harris said: “Safety is our number one priority and we have developed a fix for this technical anomaly to maintain the highest levels of safety on these roads and make sure no one is wrongly prosecuted.”The agency said it had identified around 2,650 incorrect camera activations since 2021, less than two per day.Not all of those will have resulted in fines as camera activations are not always enforced, and the total amounts to less than 0.1% of the 6 million activations in the same period.T...
