Speed Camera
Radar Detectors are completely legal to own and operate in the UK.
Authorities often site safety/speed cameras at known accident blackspots
and police have stated that they broadly support any initiative that will
assist drivers in becoming more speed aware.
Speed cameras are now referred to as 'safety cameras' by the government
and police forces; they should only be located at accident blackspots
and are painted yellow so that motorists are aware of their presence.
The Government want motorists to know where 'safety' cameras are so speed
and accident figures are reduced. This is what speed trap detectors do;
they provide advance warnings that motorists are entering an accident
blackspot zone.
The number of speed cameras on UK roads is increasing dramatically; there
are currently 4,000 cameras and it is estimated that there will be 13,000
in the next few years. And the number of speeding tickets is also set
to increase from one million to three million annually - that's one speeding
ticket issued every ten seconds
The chance of receiving speeding tickets - and driving bans - is becoming
an increasingly real possibility for most drivers. Speed Camera Detectors
provide protection to safeguard against this. As detectors provide warnings
of accident blackspots, they may be protecting your life as well. |
