NSW Treasury documents show that more than 40 per cent of the $62.5 million collected from speeding fines in 2011-12 using mobile or static speed cameras were for driving 10km/h or less over the limit.
By contrast, just 5 per cent (or $2.94 million of $56 million) from police-issued speeding offences was for speeding 10km/h or less.
It shows a two-tier system in which more than $26 million in speeding fines is collected from camera readings for minor offences, while police go for those who commit higher speed offences.
The majority of police-issued speeding tickets were for speeding between 10km/h and 20km/h and 20km/h to 30 km/h over the limit.
Before last month's state budget, Mr Gay announced a sevenfold increase in mobile speed cameras and a doubling in the number of red-light speed cameras. The budget also increased speeding fines by 12.5 per cent.
