It has been 20 years since the first automatic radar was installed on French roads. And today we are counting not less than 4500 rscattered throughout the territory, while this number continues to grow over the years. And it is not for nothing that the government wants to continue to increase investments to modernize the fleet and, above all, to increase it with one goal: to increase the profitability of the cabins. Thus, they become more and more technological and advanced, able to detect the smallest violations and the smallest deviations on the road. Much to the chagrin of motorists.

Reflections on the project to no longer remove points from the driver’s license of drivers guilty of minor speed violations continue! https://t.co/w2bQX7OYx4

Always more

Indeed, the latter are now monitored from all sides, while current radars are already able to track the smallest traffic violations, such as not wearing a seat belt or using a phone while driving. But in the coming years it will be even worse. Indeed, cabs will soon be able to monitor the interior of cars to see exactly what the driver is doing. Trials are currently underway in Australia as well as the United Kingdom and they are quite convincing. But that’s not all, because other technologies are also developing.

Discrete radars

This, for example, is the case of the formidable bike laser, which is already in use in Spain and which should arrive here soon. This radar uses the tower principle, but in a much more compact and unobtrusive format. This makes it almost invisible to motorists, who are then easily deceived. Moreover, it is also mobile and very easy to install anywhere. Finally, anti-noise radars should also be developed in the coming years, while they are already in the testing phase in several cities in France.
