Insurers want stiffer penalties on repeat offenders and average speed cameras

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

They cautioned that the decrease in speeding fines, which fell by 10,000 tickets, does not      necessarily reflect safer driving behaviour, noting that many motorists may slow down when  approaching fixed speed cameras before accelerating again once past them.
