When Italian town of Acquetico set up a trial speed camera, it did not expect to see a probable record: 58,568 speeding offences in just two weeks.
Local mayor Alessandro Alessandri set up the pilot after dozens of the 120 residents complained about speeding.
But even he could hardly believe the results that arrived on his desk.
The data showed, on average, a speeding car passed every few minutes in the 50km/h zone – with the worst offender reaching 135km/h (84mph).
