 DS2 safety camera system
The DS2 speed speed camera is often referred to as SpeedMaster, Autovision or Autovision 2 which are similar systems. This type of speed camera are not permanent fixtures, they cover two lanes of traffic in both directions. They can be left attended or unattended while enforcing the speed limit.
These speed camera systems work by piezo strips on top of or within the road surface (harder to spot). The sensors are set 1 metre apart and are accompanied by a short grey post on the roadside.
When in use the DS2 site is connected to the safety camera van or an unmarked car. Autovision or Autovision 2 can then be used to provide video evidence of the speeding offence.
In other situations the Police will wait further down the road in a police car ready to reply to a message with the drivers details to apprehend and issue the speeding offence.
 In the UK your likely to receive 3 points on your licence and a £60.00 fine if your caught by a DS2 system. However a bill is working its way through parliament that could increase these amounts.
Whilst we don’t want to speed most of us on todays roads are trying our best to navigate from a to b in the safest way possible and a small lapse in concentration can result in a ticket and fine. Which is why we need some sort of assistance be it satellite navigation or a GPS speed camera detection system.
Speed camera detectors alert drivers to dangers in the road ahead keeping you and your passengers safe. Whilst it is not a speed cameras intention to catch speeders they are designed to reduce accidents and detection devices help alert drivers to their presence contributing to road safety.
