AI-powered road-safety cameras in a UK trial detect large numbers of driving violations over a short period, with reports citing about 19,000 offences in two weeks. The breaches include drivers using mobile phones with both hands rather than keeping at least one hand on the wheel, and unsafe arrangements involving children inside vehicles.
Across outlets, examples highlighted by the trial include a front-seat passenger with a small child on their lap without a seatbelt and other cases where children are not properly secured. The coverage characterizes the findings as striking, with different emphasis on the number of violations and on the most serious near-risk examples captured by the system. No sources dispute the core figures and types of offences reported, though they frame the results with varying language about severity.
