New speed camera trialled

A new speed camera, which can see whether a driver is wearing a seatbelt, could become a regular fixture on UK roads within three years.

The new Asset camera can see inside vehicles to check whether the driver is strapped in, as well as being able to see whether the car is tailgating, speeding or is untaxed or uninsured. The new camera is different to the fixed cameras seen on the nation’s roads at the present time as it is mobile and can be attached to a trailer or police car.

It is expected to cost £50,000 per unit if it goes into production following trials and has been given a cautious welcome by motoring groups, although campaign group speedcameras.org said its effectiveness may be limited. It said: “It's a pity that the main actions that cause the most accidents, namely not paying attention to the road, misjudging distances and other drivers' intentions, cannot be detected by a device of any sort. More police patrols and better driver education are the only ways to reduce accidents.”

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.

Absolutely exceptional service from start to finish. I will definitely be recommending you to others. Michelle was fantastic and eased me through the whole process. I had so many questions as a first time buyer, Michelle answered them all and responded quickly every time. Very happy - August 2025

When Mum needed the system most that she had been paying into all her life she was failed by countless people and departments, assessments not completed, lost files, appointments not kept, delay after delay and on. I had a gut feeling that procedures weren't being followed and began my quest for the truth in her memory. I found James at 'Winston Solicitors' who helped us take on the system and prove that Mum was indeed entitled to CHC Funding. Throughout the case he was relentless in his pursuit to seek out the truth and hold those accountable who failed Mum. He gave us regular updates and discussed every step with us along the way, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who has found themselves in this dreadful position in traumatic times with their loved ones. - August 2025
