The data — released ahead of Victoria Police’s five-day road safety operation — shows November recorded the biggest jump in speeding fines of any month last year.
There were 11,291 speeding fines issued — up 17 per cent on the previous year when 9652 offences were recorded.
Almost 40 per cent of drivers caught speeding during November were travelling 15km/h or less over the speed limit.
Half were caught between 15km/h and 25km/h over the speed limit.
Between 2pm and 4pm was the most common time for drivers to be caught speeding during November last year, with Sunday the most common day to be detected.
The Wangaratta police service area topped the list for the most speeding infringements issued last November.
November was the deadliest month on Victorian roads last year, equal with January.
There were 32 lives lost, with 13 on the Melbourne Cup long weekend alone.
Excessive speed was identified as one of the most common themes contributing to fatal collisions.
Police are warning motorists that speed will remain a focus as Operation Furlong kicks off on Friday, November 1.
The road policing operation will see police highly visible across the state’s roads in an effort to reduce road trauma.
Last year, police issued 8373 fines during Operation Furlong, including 3246 speeding offences.
Police conducted 145,339 roadside alcohol and drug tests during last year’s Operation Furlong and are reminding motorists they should expect to be tested anywhere, any time this cup weekend.
Those heading to events should plan ahead and use public transport or ride-share services.
Victorians travelling to regional areas are being urged to allow plenty of extra travel time, stick to the speed limit, avoid distractions behind the wheel and take plenty of breaks to prevent fatigue.
Police issued a total 126,464 speeding infringements in 2023.
