New data shows 75 per cent of speeding tickets handed out in Oxfordshire are from mobile speed camera vans.
Thames Valley Police caught 9,823 instances of speeding in the county for three months between October and December, the newly published figures show.
And of those, 7,404 vehicles were caught by somebody sat in a van with a speed gun at the side of the road.
The worst area to get caught by a speed camera van is in the West Oxfordshire and Cherwell districts of the county, the data suggests, where 3,442 were caught in the three months.
During the same period in the same districts, fixed speed cameras flashed just 54 times for speeding - the lowest data of the period in Oxfordshire by far.

Meanwhile in Oxford, more offences were clocked by a fixed speed camera than a mobile camera, at 1,672 clocked compared with 1,259 caught by a parked van.
This was a rise from the previous quarter, where fixed cameras flashed 1,433 times and mobile speed vans caught 1,173 vehicles.
Over in South Oxfordshire and the Vale of the White Horse district council areas, fixed speed cameras flash 693 times (up from 1,162 times the previous quarter) compared with 2,757 speeding offences clocked using a mobile speed camera van.
Overall in Oxfordshire, fixed speed cameras flashed 2,419 times during the three months of summer, while mobile speed cameras recorded 7,404 instances of speeding.
The data does not include community speed watch, which over the same three months saw volunteers put in 279 hours resulting in 3,341 letters being sent to motorists.
Maria Jolliffe, a traffic management officer at Thames Valley Police, said: "We prioritise enforcement and education for drink and drug driving, the non wearing of seatbelts, excessive speed, careless driving and driving whilst distracted."
She added: "Community Speedwatch is an educational scheme run by our local volunteers.
"The figures for the mobile camera enforcement are from our dedicated safer roads police staff and the fixed penalty notices are from any officer on patrol dealing with a motorist."
The minimum penalty for speeding is a fixed penalty fine of £100 and three points added to your licence.
Receiving 12 or more points within three years may disqualify you from driving.
Newly published provisional government statistics suggest that Oxfordshire is seeing significant improvements in road safety, with serious and fatal collisions falling sharply while the wider Thames Valley area has seen increases.
Tim Bearder, leader of Oxfordshire County Council, said the provisional data is "extremely encouraging" after the authority vowed to cut road deaths.
