About Speed Cameras

Dubbed the Royal Family’ s‘ secret weapon’ and reputed to be Queen Elizabeth II’ s favourite daughter-in-law, the film charts the spectacular rise from gauche middle-class PR girl to regal royal. From the gaffe during an undercover newspaper sting that led to her leaving her job, to trusted mediator in the troubled family, balancing her role as mother of two with the increasing demands of official duties, the documentary is an intimate portrait of the low-key Duchess. Shining a spotlight on the royal who flies under the radar, this pacy, accessible and beautifully shot programme uncovers little seen archive and reveals exclusive anecdotes and refreshing new insights into Sophie’ s life.

This investigation documentary delves into the use of speed cameras, questioning whether their primary purpose is to enhance road safety by deterring dangerous driving behaviour, or if they are increasingly being used as a means of generating revenue by targeting drivers. The inquiry will explore data on accident rates, the placement and frequency of speed cameras, and the financial implications for both local governments and motorists to determine whether the balance leans more toward public safety or profit.
