The Law

Road Angels have been designed to help you drive in the confines of today's ever changing speed limits. They are not a licence to speed. Always remember that speed limits have been set for the safety of all road users.

It is our belief however that drivers should be made aware of the speed limit before they commit an offence. Speed traps are often set up where the speed limit is decreased, i.e. from 60 - 40mph or from a 50 - 30mph zone. Driving in today's congested traffic conditions, concentrating on the traffic around you or your next appointment means that it is easy to drive into a restricted zone without noticing the change in speed limits. Therefore advanced warning could prevent you from driving dangerously... which is in everybody's interests. The Spanish have radar controlled traffic lights, if they sense you travelling above the speed limit the lights are changed against your favour, this is the best kind of instant incentive to drive within the speed limit, but then it doesn't raise much cash does it!

Road Angels are completely legal in England but the law differs around the world. The UK Government has been working on a Road Safety Bill designed to outlaw old fashioned radar technology which is not built into the Road Angels. The Government are still deciding whether to ban laser detection or not. If they do then laser detection can be switched off on the New Road Angel 2 and it is detachable from the Classic Road Angel and Compact Road Angel. A laser detector is not included with the Road Angel Navigator.
