Drivers who break at the last minute are being warned of a new high-tech speed camera that can catch you even if you slow down.<\/p>\n
Lots of road users narrowly avoid fines by slowing down for the camera and then speeding up once they\u2019ve passed it.<\/p>\n
But a new camera has been designed to catch them out.<\/p>\n
Recently trialled in the Navarra region of Spain, the camera uses laser systems and “doppler effect technology” to accurately record speed over a distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following the successful trial, they could be implemented on British roads.<\/p>\n
