Calls for average speed cameras, tougher penalties to curb Malta's 'race tracks'

Drop of 10,000 speeding fines not necessarily mean safer driving, IAM says

The Insurance Association Malta is calling for the introduction of average speed cameras and stiffer penalties for repeat offenders to thwart drivers from using Malta’s roads as “race tracks”.

While welcoming a drop of 10,000 speeding fines over the past year, the IAM cautioned that the decrease did not necessarily reflect safer driving behaviour. Instead, many motorists may simply be slowing down when approaching fixed speed cameras before accelerating again once past them
