The new speed camera that 'surprises' drivers by catching them 1km away

preview

The Department for Transport revealed that all speed cameras were to be painted yellow by October 2016.
  This should make most of them easier to see, but what if a speed camera was practically invisible because of how far away it is?
  Well, they exist.
  
    Good to see that the police now have a new tool, "The Long Ranger" in their arsenal. A powerful, mobile, speed camera that can produce clear footage of drivers texting, tailgating and speeding from more than half a mile away. Excellent development!

  These new cameras are an advancement upon current speed camera technology and have an impressive range of over 1km, which has seen them dubbed the ‘Lone Ranger’.&nbsp;
  It is&nbsp;the longest-distance speed enforcer on UK roads.
  The camera can also be used for recording drivers not wearing seatbelts and people using the phone while driving.

  RAC road safety spokesperson Pete Williams&nbsp;said: “Although this new long-range camera could be used to enforce illegal mobile phone use or tailgating, it’s primary use will no doubt be to catch speeding drivers, if indeed it becomes more widely used by forces.
  “Some drivers will inevitably end up being very surprised when a notice of intended prosecution letter arrives on their doormat when they felt they had managed to slow down enough after spotting a police car in the distance.”
  The minimum penalty for speeding is generally a £100 fine and three points on your licence.
  If it's a first offence and you don't have points on your licence, you could be offered a speed awareness course instead of penalty points.
