The blitz from cameras, police patrols and parking wardens is netting the state £100million a year in fines.
Recorded offences now top more than 2.39million a year, according to latest figures released following a Freedom of Information request.
They also include illegal parking, jumping traffic lights and not wearing a seatbelt.
Twice as many drivers — 1½million — are fined for speeding as ten years ago, with London’s Met force issuing most tickets.
