Speeding Brit drivers could be racking up the fines and licence points thanks to new \u201cultra\u201d speed cameras popping around the country.<\/p>\n

The Vector-SR, already in use in areas such as Manchester, are causing chaos as they do not flash like classic yellow-box speed cameras . . . and they are two-way cameras. The German-made device can catch drivers not only speeding, but running red lights as well, and uses intelligent virtual grid systems to do so, as well as radar systems.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for makers Jenoptik said: \u201dState-of-the-art non-invasive laser and radar sensors means no modifications are required to road surfaces. This saves costs when the devices are being installed and maintained. The systems deliver precision measurements and high-resolution, legally admissible images, even in the dark and in weather-induced low visibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe systems can simultaneously measure speeds in both directions and over several lanes and differentiate between cars and trucks. Different speed limits can then be pre-set for different vehicle classes and lanes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cameras could catch drivers not wearing a seatbelt or handling a mobile phone at the steering wheel. <\/p>\n

They also praise the cameras for being precise, and having high resolution cameras inside, as well as producing \u201clegally admissible evidence\u201d in court should it snap a law-breaking road user. And to top it all off, the cameras can run 24 hours a day, all day, everyday \u2013 capturing illegal driving on a constant basis.<\/p>\n

This could see an increase in drivers being fined the minimum penalty for speeding, which is \u00a3100 fine, while having three points added to their licence. According to the UK Government, 221,927 people were found guilty of a speed limit offence in 2022, which was an increase of 98% since 2011.<\/p>\n
