Since 1996, one fifth of British
drivers have been caught speeding by roadside cameras.
- The number of speed cameras grew by 1,000 in 2002, taking the total to 6,300.
This makes Britain's roads the most heavily regulated in Europe.
- The number of speeding offences rose from 262,200 in 1996, to 1.2 million
in 2002.
- The amount of speeding fines collected rose from £11.5 million in
1997, to £73 million in 2002.
- Around 2,500 drivers per month are being disqualified for amassing 12 penalty
points.
- The soaring number of speed cameras is being fuelled by the government's
cash-for-cameras scheme, where police forces are allowed to retain some of
the revenue from speeding fines to fund more speed cameras.
- Insurance companies are making an extra £50 million per year by increasing
the premiums of drivers caught on camera. Premiums can rise by a quarter after
a second speeding offence, and by 40-50% if a driver is trapped a third time.
- Speeding fine amounts have gone up over the last few years.
- Speed limits are coming down - seen any 20mph limits in your area yet?
Some
of the Questions
Radar Detectors can help. But
do you know what to buy? There are so many different models with different features
offering different levels and types of protection.
If you're in the market for a Radar Detector, you might be seeking answers to
these questions:

used by shops set radar detectors off.
- What is K-band, Ka-band, Ku-band, X-band?

all about?
