GPS Radar/Safety/Speed Camera Systems
Due to the ever changing speed limits on our roads, it can be difficult to stay within the confines of the law whilst concentrating on other traffic, pedestrians, roadworks...... the list goes on.
At AMS we offer a wide range of products such as laser radar detectors and GPS radar detectors, specifically designed to help you drive within these limits avoiding speeding tickets, license endorsements, traffic violation fines and most importantly traffic accidents.
Not sure what you’re looking for?
Be wary of people telling you which is the best. Some detectors are portable while others require installation. Some have ongoing subscription fees and need to be connected to a computer for updates.

NOTE: We do not condone speeding and will not be held responsible for anybody prosecuted for breaking the law. We support the use of radar detectors and similar devices for two reasons. Firstly, anyone who does a lot of driving is bound to unintentionally break the speed limit at some point because they do not notice their speed creep up as they follow the car in front. We feel you should be warned about your speed before you are prosecuted for a crime you did not intend to commit. Advanced warnings allow drivers to make an early decision to manage their speed of approach safely and smoothly.
Secondly, cameras should be placed on dangerous roads and in accident blackspots to slow traffic down and catch the most reckless of drivers who do not have the skill to sensibly judge a dangerous stretch of road or are unfamiliar with the road ahead. If this is the case then these devices will give you advanced warning of possible danger ahead. Unfortunately cameras and police speed traps are often placed on straight flat clear sections of road with no immediate danger or where the speed limit has recently been reduced with the sole intention of catching speeding motorists and generating fines. However, for those placed correctly in accident blackspots, a radar detector can give you advanced warning of danger on the road ahead. |
