Motorists beware, police forces around the country are trialling new handheld speed guns that will make it far easier for them to catch and fine road users who exceed limits.

A number of UK constabularies - including Northumbria Police and Warwickshire Police - in recent months have announced they are beginning to use the latest version of the blue cameras, which have been described as 'next generation' enforcement devices.

The devices - each costing in the region of £10,000 - can identify a vehicle make, model and read a number plate from distances of up to 750 metres in daylight and at night.

All details captured can be uploaded to a database and penalty charge notices automatically posted to the vehicle keeper's address, meaning there's no need for officers to even stop motorists to issue fines.
