The government is planning to roll out an advanced new range of speed cameras that track drivers over long distances.
According to a recent report in the Times, the Home Office is expected to grant approval for the new technology - which enables average speeds to be calculated - in January.
The next-generation cameras will be installed as replacements for the current range of Gatso and Truvelo cameras, which are only capable of measuring speed over a few metres.
By comparison, the new machines are able to collect data over distances of up to six miles, minimising motorists' ability to moderate their driving habits in camera hot-spots.
However, not everyone is behind the proposal. A spokesman for the Association of British Drivers told the Times that such speed cameras could cause more accidents than they prevent.
"You will get a load of people staring at their speedometers instead of concentrating on what's going on around them," he argued.
A recent study by the University of Liverpool's Department of Engineering found that government estimates of how many lives have been saved by speed cameras are inflated.
