    Most people are perfectly comfortable slowing down before a (known) speeding camera and then skedaddling on once it passes.

    All those newly implemented speeding cameras in Sea Point? No fuss, I see you.

    But it turns out the government is one step ahead 0f us, implementing technology that won’t allow that kind of law-skirting any longer.

    In Jozi, the Gauteng Traffic Police are adopting new speeding traps to track speeding drivers, called Moving Violation Recorders (MVR).

    Your average speed is measured on the MVR over a minimum of 500 metres, which is then recorded and downloaded for investigation and prosecution purposes, per BusinessTech.

    Don’t get too comfy, Cape Town, these smart speeding traps are being used on regional and residential roads all over the country.

    MVRs are also pretty similar to the average-speed-over-distance (ASOD) technology currently in use along a couple of major national highways, including the N3 and the N1 in Johannesburg.

    With ASOD, your average speed is calculated and measured by the amount of time your vehicle passes between two fixed cameras at some distance from each other in a certain location, where time-stamped pictures are captured.

    If the time shows that you passed by the second camera in a shorter time than what you should have, given the speed limit, the camera will deduce that you were speeding.

    Yeah, the tech is smart enough to recognise and calibrate your number plate, so no amount of weaving will help you here.

    Looks like it’s not enough to keep an eye out anymore, so slowing down for good it is.
