A speed camera in Neuchâtel has gone haywire - flashing thousands of drivers for no reason.
Between April 17th and 18th, the radar recorded 3,468 false violations after a technical failure.
The speed limit had just been raised back to 50 km/h, but the device didn’t update properly, and couldn’t be controlled remotely.
Police say they were flooded with calls, and an operator had to shut it down on site.
