Radar warnings do not know the crisis !

Faced with the frantic development of repression road safety, and in particular increasingly small and efficient speedometers, sales of fixed and mobile speed camera warning devices have literally exploded in recent years.

Thus, in less than six years only, the company Coyote System has already attracted more than a million users (1,001,822) across Europe with its Coyote real-time alarm. !

An impressive success which allows it to claim the status of "European leader in community driving assistance and radar warning systems" … even if its main competitor Wikango (launched in 2004) announces more than 2 million users in Europe (including 450,000 unique monthly users) on its website !

Still, the growth is dazzling for these small boxes that use the latest GPS, GPRS and GSM technologies in order to communicate in real time geolocated information on variations in speed limits, road disturbances … and especially the location of fixed and mobile speed cameras (read in particular our) !

For this, the system communicates permanently with a central server which transmits in real time the information transmitted by each subscriber: as soon as a speed camera or a police check is detected by one of its users, the latter does not just press a button to report it to all Coyote, Wikango and other subscribers traveling on the same road.

A simple solution whose effectiveness logically rests on the multiplication of the number of its users: the more there are "scouts" indicated on your route, the more the transmitted information gains in reliability and precision..

But this dazzling development ended up annoying the government, which fears a drop in its financial manna…

Because although the process is perfectly legal (unlike radar detectors), Coyote and other real-time radar detectors are regularly the object of the wrath of leaders and ayatollahs of road safety, on the pretext that they would encourage to play with the rules of the highway code (read).

"The objective of the Coyote solution is to contribute to road safety and prevention by encouraging its users to respect the legislation in force and to anticipate the vagaries of the road", on the contrary assure the founders of the brand who are now aiming for the course. of the two million subscribers. A prospect of growth which suggests that, all things considered, the road repression does not only fill the coffers of the government !
