Digital speed cameras will soon be rolled out across the UK

In a move that will enrage motorist support groups, Police are looking to roll out the next generation of speed cameras in the UK.

There is much controversy over whether speed cameras actually reduce road accident injuries. We have always taken the view that they are a huge positive and do actively promote good driving behaviour when strategically positioned in accident black-spot areas. The new cameras are more accurate and can distinguish between 4 different lanes of moving traffic. There is a range of mobile speed cameras to allow Police to stay on the move when targeting key areas.

However, many feel that the new improved speed cameras will simply target drivers unfairly and swell the coffers of the Police Authorities who use them.

Whilst official figures can be difficult to get hold of, it is thought that up to 2 million drivers are caught speeding each year. Can the police be blamed for enforcing the laws on Britain's roads?
