Joyce Brown, 77, kept a clean driving licence for 40 years but notched up nine penalty points – just three away from being banned – after being snapped at the same spot on Whitburn Bents Road in March this year.
The Safe Speed for Life Campaign has defended the new camera, insisting the area is an accident black spot and the new device, which was installed two weeks ago, has already been effective.
Sarah Cossom, from the organisation, said: "It has only been there a short time and already there has been a noticeable reduction in speed."
Mrs Brown said there were other measures available to make people aware of their speed.
She said: "It's ridiculous really. They could have just put a 30mph sign up which would have been much cheaper than the camera."
The mobile camera which snared Mrs Brown, was a temporary measure, and the installation of a permanent fixture was always planned for the road, which has seen five fatal or serious accidents and 15 minor collisions.
Mrs Brown, from nearby Merryfield Gardens, uses the road frequently and insists accidents are rare.
"I have lived here for years and I'm up and down the road constantly and I've never seen or heard of a fatal or serious accident," she said.
Ms Cossom said the mobile speed camera had effectively reduced the number of speeding drivers by 13 per cent on the road and said the organisation hoped the fixed camera would continue doing the same.
Nigel Humphries, from the Association of British Drivers, said the speed limits of roads need to be reviewed in areas where so many people are breaking them.
He said: "Most speed cameras are placed where the speed limit is wrong.
"The accidents that happen on these roads usually do not involve a driver doing 30 or 40 miles an hour, but someone doing 90 or a drunk driver, but these are just used to justify placing a speed camera on the road."
