AI road cameras were used in a major police crackdown on vehicle safety across several regions in the UK

The cameras, which have been tested in various parts of the UK as part of a police crackdown on road safety, use advanced software to detect drivers using their phones or not wearing seatbelts.

Humberside Police has confirmed that the cameras will be used again after their successful trial, with plans to introduce them "sporadically throughout the year". "It is disappointing that so many road users chose to use their phones or not wear their seat belt in our area, putting themselves and others at risk.
