Warwickshire has been revealed as one of the UK's speeding hotspots, according to new research from car finance experts Moneybarn.

The study placed the county seventh in the list, with 9,579 speeding offences in the last year, per 100,000 people.

It also showed that offences had increased 167.65 per cent in Warwickshire between 2021 and 2022.

Lincolnshire topped the list, with 11,567 instances of speeding offences committed per 100,000 people. This is a significant decrease since 2021, which was 13,420 per 100,000 people, but still lands the area as the UK's biggest speeding hotspot overall.

The study - which was compiled from government data - also found speeding offences are the most common car crime in the UK overall, with a total of 2.8 million offences committed in 2022.

The news comes just weeks after Warwickshire Police issued a warning for motorists travelling around the M40-M42 interchange, where temporary speed cameras remain in place.
