These cameras will snap motorists who aren’t wearing a seatbelt and motorists using a mobile phone at the wheel.

A new speed camera that employs the latest digital technology is being rolled out across the UK.
The new and advanced ‘ultra’ speed camera called the Jenoptik VECTOR-SR works differently from our usual speed cameras.
They can now look inside vehicles, meaning they can catch you for more than just speeding.
The VECTOR-SR operates without flashing, which means you won’t know if you’ve been detected or not.
Safety cameras are putting the brakes on dangerous drivers.
They are used to enforce speed limits and red-light traffic signals and are managed by the Safety Camera Partnership, who are committed to saving lives through preventing crashes.

The new two-way camera can catch speeding drivers in both directions and can also capture drivers in up to three lanes. The camera employs video-based technology and an intelligent virtual grid to assess speeding.
The camera is the latest in ‘spot camera’ technology from German manufacturer Jenoptik Traffic Solutions.
Doubling as a red-light camera, the new technology detects motorists for more than just speeding.
These cameras will snap motorists who aren’t wearing a seatbelt and motorists using a mobile phone at the wheel.
