Those who dislike CCTV speeding cameras are about to dislike them even more, with the advent of new high tech cameras that are designed to catch speeders and cars that are over the limit in more than one lane at once without using a flash.
They also will be hard to spot while travelling down the roadways as well, since they look like simple steel posts by the roadside, which may lead to many drivers not even realizing they have been caught on camera until they get ticketed through the post.
The new cameras come from France where they will be tested before they are installed in the UK. The French Government plans to start using the cameras within the next year, after which the UK is expected to start to use the cameras immediately.
Truckers in particular will be affected by the new technology since they often speed over the lower speeding limits imposed on their heavy loads, but get away with it so long as they stay under the maximum limit for regular cars.
However, the new cameras are able to tell the difference between a car and lorry travelling together, which will lead to truckers seeing an increase in fines.
