Have an Easier Life on the Road with a GPS Speed Trap Locator

Speed traps - and the way drivers react when they see them - have hit the headlines in recent months, after one Michael Thompson was fined by the courts for his conduct in his car.

Mr Thompson was ordered to pay a fine of £175, as well as £250 costs after flashing his headlights to warn other motorists of an upcoming police speed check.

However, the case has divided opinion among the public. The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) ran a survey that showed 70 per cent of respondents believed they should not be prosecuted for warning others about the traps. Some 21 per cent believed they should.

IAM chief examiner Peter Rodger commented: "Safety was [...] used as a major justification for those who do flash, to warn of speed checks, with nearly 20 per cent saying they 'wanted to avoid a possible collision when drivers see the speed check late and brake harshly in response."

A GPS Speed Trap Detector Could Save You a Lot of Hassle

A GPS speed trap detector, though, could save you and others from having to do any flashing at all, help you concentrate on the road and stay safe while behind the wheel.

Snooper has been the market leader in speed camera detector systems for more than 30 years now, and our sophisticated devices make use of the latest speed camera detector technology and Snooper's speed camera database, AURA, which is the only camera database offering 24-hour updates.

They tell you where cameras are, which ones are live and active, as well as the locations of mobile speed traps such as laser guns and camera vans. With roads as busy as they are nowadays, we could use all the help we can get to make sure we're not distracted and slamming on our brakes every time we see a speed camera or police car.
