Due to recent Press coverage of the proposed 'Road Safety Bill' many customers are Concerned about the current legal situation as well as any proposed legislation seeking to ban Snoopers. We can confirm however that GPS Camera locators are not under review in the proposed bill and have written evidence from the Department for Transport to that effect. The Government understand and fully accept the safety benefits of GPS based safety systems. Products like the Snooper S4 and S3 warn of danger areas, advising users to reduce speed and be aware of the potential hazard ahead, supporting perfectly what safety cameras aim to achieve. Direct from the Department for Transport (dft.gov.uk) There is no difficulty with drivers carrying in their vehicles devices that inform them of the location of fixed safety cameras and cameras operating from mobile units. These have the same intention as the signing, visibility and conspicuity rules that form part of the financial scheme under which most cameras are placed.
