Exact punishments you’ll face if caught by new AI cameras in place to catch drivers on their phone or without seatbelts on

It’ll then be able to use the information to implement future road safety campaigns.

If anyone is caught out, the police will be notified of the offence which can range from a £100 fine to £1,000.

If an adult is caught not wearing a seatbelt, they can be slapped with a fine of £100 on the spot.

For children found not to be wearing theirs, that’s £500 out of your pocket.

If you’re caught using your mobile phone or driving, you could face six points on your license or £1,000 in fines.

So, really, it’s not worth getting in trouble.

Peter Boulton, TfGM’s Network Director for Highways, told The Sun: “In Greater Manchester we know that distractions and not wearing seat belts are key factors in a number of road traffic collisions on our roads which have resulted in people being killed or seriously injured.

“By utilising this state-of-the-art technology provided by Acusensus, we hope to gain a better understanding of how many drivers break the law in this way, whilst also helping to reduce these dangerous driving practices and make our roads safer for everyone.”

Cornwall trialled similar tech last year which caught out 300 drivers in three days.

The cameras have so far been trialled in Sussex, Durham and now Greater Manchester which have seen similar numbers in drivers being naughty.

With the RAC’s backing, it could mean all UK roads will be capable of cracking down on bad drivers in the future.

The RAC’s spokesperson Rod Dennis said: “Despite the penalties for using a handheld phone having doubled to six penalty points and a £200 fine seven years ago, it’s clear far too many drivers are still prepared to put lives at risk by engaging in this dangerous practice.”
