Everybody hates being caught by speed cameras: it is annoying, humiliating and also expensive, and that is why Novus have come up with the “Mini Coyote” which allows drivers to alert others of speed cameras in as little as three seconds. The little gadget will sit on your dashboard, and when you spot a speed camera that isn’t already in the database you press the handy button and before you know it everyone with that gadget knows of it.

“Brilliant!” I hear you cry, finally a way to beat those money grabbing machines, which it does quite effectively. Although this idea isn’t new, the super speed at which it does it allows the community of users to quickly build up a good idea of where all the speed traps are due to the fact that it only takes 3 seconds. The little gadget will then tell you if you are approaching any speed cameras, your speed, and will tell you to slow down if you are going too fast thus avoiding a fine.

So this is great, and this is gadget is brilliant at what it does, but is this good? Firstly, this isn’t legal, per se, as it is against the law to warn another driver of an upcoming speed trap. Although this is in place to stop people putting signs up telling motorists, this will fall under it, and although you are virtually guaranteed not to get caught, it is still a very gray area.

So if you can face breaking the law, you still have a few moral crevasses to jump the first addressing the fact that speed traps are there for a purpose. They are there to act as a deterrent, thus slowing people down to the speed limit so as to save lives. So although you may be able to control your speed, can someone who knows that there are no cameras do it? Is it not immoral to give an idiot that will go on that road later the information that there are no speed cameras there and that they can speed without being caught? The answer to that is yes, it probably is.

So will you buy this? It does its job very well, and if you speed regularly, this is for you. But should you buy it? Are you not bypassing laws that are there for a purpose? And bear in mind that the money in speeding fines goes to the government, which uses it for things like benefits, the fire service and charity. So personally, I wouldn’t get it, and it is up to your conscience to decide, but I am sure that if you do there will be plenty of taxi drivers with it that will help you fill up the database.
