A new generation of speed cameras are being introduced on the M25 in Kent. Digital technology has been introduced to catch drivers breaking the 70mph speed. It was reported last night that the devices – dubbed ‘stealth cameras’ by critics – have caught almost 700 drivers in just two months. Unlike traditional yellow speed cameras, the gantry devices are painted grey, making them harder to spot for drivers. Front and rear-facing cameras are used to verify a vehicle’s speed. The same technology is being introduced on a northern section of the M25 and also parts of the M1, M3, M60 and M6. Motoring groups claim the devices will see thousands of drivers facing at least £100 in fines and points on their licence for straying marginally over the 70mph limit. The Association of Chief Police Officers recommends drivers are not charged unless they exceed 79mph in a 70mph limit zone.
