Speed Trap Detector

Some very good reasons why you need a speed trap detector.

Speed cameras are now referred to as 'Safety cameras' by the government and police forces; they should only be located at accident black spots 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 black spot zone.

Government research has revealed that the number of accidents around scrutinised camera sites fell by 47%

MORI research showed that radar detector users had an average 24% fewer accidents than non-users

The MORI research further showed that:

76% of detector users feel they have been more conscious about keeping to the speed limit since purchasing a detector
78% of detector users feel they have become more aware of the speed limit in the areas in which they are driving
81% of detector users feel they have become more speed aware generally
detector users travel 51% more miles between accidents than non-users

The number of speed cameras on UK roads is increasing dramatically; there are 5,000 cameras today and it is estimated that there will be 13,000 in the next couple of years.

The number of speeding tickets is set to increase from one million to three million annually - that's one speeding ticket issued every ten seconds

The speeding endorsement system is set to become stricter; motorists caught twice on the motorway at, for example, 72 and 76 will be disqualified; speeds of 86+ will mean an instant disqualification

You won't be caught out by hidden cameras; no more panic, last minute, braking

Imagine the inconvenience to you and your family if you lost your driving licence. Plus the increased insurance premiums

The chance of receiving speeding tickets - and driving bans - is becoming an increasingly real possibililty for most drivers. Speed camera detectors provide protection to safeguard against this. As detectors provide warnings of accident blackspots, they may be protecting you life as well
