Are you one of those motorists who brake suddenly before a speed camera to avoid being flashed? If it is implemented in France, this new system will no longer allow you to pretend.
Many motorists brake suddenly before a speed camera, to avoid being flashed and paying a fine for speeding. And on the road, we distinguish three types of drivers: those who drive at the right speed, and don’t really worry about radars, those who spot the devices and slow down “just in case” and those who drive at full speed and who tend to tail off before the radar, then accelerate again once they have passed the radar. A dangerous technique, especially when traffic is heavy, and which could no longer work.
Spanish authorities, along with those in the United Kingdom, have decided to install a monitoring system to encourage drivers to be careful on the road. These specific cameras are capable of detecting motorists who brake just before a speed camera, according to Auto Plus. In Spain, other cameras have been installed after the radar, to check that the driver does not press the accelerator immediately after passing the radar. Motorists who exceed the authorized speed limit could then receive a ticket directly by mail. If this test proves conclusive, these control cameras could be installed in France, but for the moment, nothing has yet been planned.
Remember that in France, approved automatic radars are capable of detecting and punishing up to 15 types of offenses such as excessive speed, but also respecting safety distances between two cars or even crossing the line. continuous white.
