Your roadmap for a healthy green life. Speed camera rewards drivers. Sweden has trialled an innovative system that rewards safe drivers by entering them in a lottery funded by speeding drivers.

Speed camera rewards drivers

The Swedish National Society for Road Safety trialled the system after it was suggested as a means of rewarding people who obeyed speed limits in Stockholm rather than breaking the rules. The system uses a traffic camera that takes a photo of every vehicle driving past. If the car is speeding, the vehicle’s owner is issued with an infringement notice, with the fine tipped into a pool of money. SuperBetter. Zombies, Run!
