Isle of
Man Insurance has launched a new Flashguard insurance
policy which takes its name from the flash of a speed
camera. For £1 per week, it offers up to £6000 worth of
cover to meet the cost of a year's alternative travel
for drivers banned for speeding, and there's a
double-cover policy which for an annual premium of £75
increases that to a maximum of £12,000.
The
company is pointing out that the number of speeding
drivers caught on camera in 2002 was 1.5 million, last
year it was two million, and this year it looks like
rising to more than three million.
As well
as that, while there around 5000 approved camera sites
in the UK alone, there's a backlog of requests for at
least 10,000 more. The next generation of digital
cameras will be active 24/7 and won't run out of film
like the older Gatso types. And since they can operate
in pairs, they are able to work out average speeds
between two points like all road cameras in Ireland,
thus foiling in-car detector devices which warn of a
single camera location.
