1. What are the benefits of a safety camera alert system?

Safety Camera Alert Systems Alert to the UK's blackspots, providing, often user-defined, distance countdowns to speed camera locations and other proven crash hot spots. The Satellite, Radar and/or Laser technology in the Alert System may prevent road accidents, where speed is the main cause of the accidents, by increasing your road awareness when it matters the most. By ensuring you are driving safely, given the black spot location the unit simultaneously is protecting your driving licence. Many motorists could not put a price on their driving licence, as it is invaluable. The more advanced the technology within the alert system is the greater the warning – the maximum alert is 2 miles - the range can be set by the user or can be set to "Auto" to provide more warning when driving fast, for example on motorways and provide less warning (in terms of distance) if you are driving particularly slowly, such as in traffic jams.

Research by MORI has suggested that installing a Safer Camera Alert Systems reduces the chance of being involved in a road accident by 24%. Some Alert Systems can be used to only warn you if you are travelling above the speed limit and are also set to alert you to all 25,000 UK schools during term time and Congestion Charging zones when there are operational.

The benefit of protecting your licence and your life by using cutting edge technology is invaluable. It is particularly useful and very convenient to receive advanced alerts to hazards in the road ahead direct to your vehicle to assist you in driving safely and in increasing overall road safety in the UK.

A speed camera detection systems simply provides an earlier warning to the accident blackspot allowing you to concentrate on the road ahead and adjust if required your vehicles speed.
