It's ten o'clock at night. An empty motorway stretches ahead of you, and there's hardly any traffic to get in your way. The overwhelming urge is to put more pressure on the throttle, to explore those upper reaches of the speedo that you rarely get the chance to. But don't feel too secure. Hundreds of thousands of UK motorists were accused of speeding last year thanks to the thousands of speed cameras situated around the UK's roads - and there are plans afoot to erect thousands more of the lovely fellas.
Whatever you think about these unpopular roadside ornaments, ignoring them will cost you dear. And not only in cash terms - your licence could be in jeopardy too. But help is at hand thanks to a number of technology-loaded devices that not only warn you of upcoming cameras, but also of the proximity of other hazards.
