Following successful trials in the Navarra region of North Eastern Spain, the new cameras could be used to catch more drivers who break speed limits – or excessively break in areas where they are situated.
The latest innovation works by installing a mobile radar device in a different location to the fixed-speed camera. This is so it can detect drivers who speed up just after passing the first camera – after initially slowing down, just for the camera.
Anti-braking systems technology could catch those drivers, who do not see the flash of a camera in their rear-view mirror.
Gary Digva, Founder of dash cam company Road Angel, told the Express: “From the information I have, this technology will probably be making its way over to the UK towards this part of next year.
“They are trying to stop that pre-braking. If you look at a motorway and see a camera on a gantry, drivers slam their brakes on whether they are travelling at 80-90mph. Whatever the speed is they slam the brakes on.
“That's what the anti-braking cameras are supposed to come in to do, to say actually you were speeding.
“The fact you've seen the camera and slowed down is irrelevant as you were speeding pre-camera.”
