We all know a driver with a habit of picking up points for driving just a little bit too quickly
The OOONO Co-Driver NO2 warns motorists of upcoming speed cameras and traffic hazards
A clever gadget that helps people stay more aware of what’s coming up on the road has been hailed a ‘licence lifesaver’ by drivers. Now the OOONO Co-Driver NO2 costs £41.99 on Amazon in a limited-time deal, a great 39% saving on its full price of £69.
It is a number one bestseller on Amazon, with over 2,000 bought in the past month and the retailer says its currently at the cheapest price it’s been in 12 months. The sale could be useful for anyone planning a UK road trip, with the AA reporting that two million UK drivers are expected to make journeys of between 101 and 150 miles between July 31 and August 6.
The summer holidays mean drivers could face busier roads and more potential hazards. The OOONO Co-Driver NO2 is designed to provide real time warnings about fixed, mobile and red light speed cameras, as well as traffic jams, accidents and stranded vehicles, to make journeys that bit easier.
Alerts are delivered through audio and subtle visual warnings, so drivers don’t need to keep checking their phones. It can also work with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, displaying and playing warnings based on the latest reports from OOONO’s driver community.
The device doesn’t require a subscription or additional app charges, so the one-off purchase gives users lifetime access to its speed camera and hazard alerts. The rechargeable gadget uses USB-C or traditional USB charging and is designed to be ready for both daily commutes and occasional road trips.

The gadget gives real-time road warnings for traffic, speed cameras, hazards and more.
To use the OOONO app, smartphones need to run iOS 16 or later or Android 12 or later. While the gadget can provide useful warnings, drivers should still follow the speed limit and remain responsible for driving safely at all times.
Alternatively, over at Halfords, drivers can find the Saphe One+ Speed Camera Alarm, priced at £49.99. It has been described as a ‘great little gadget to put on your dash’ and the product description says it works ‘throughout Europe’.
At Argos, the Tom by TomTom Road Alert Assistant is priced at £69.99, and gives drivers real-time audio and visual alerts for speed cameras, heavy traffic, road hazards and speed-limit changes that can easily catch out drivers focused on getting to their destination. One reviewer said it gives “peace of mind whilst traveling”.
The OOONO Co-Driver NO2 has 4.2 out of 5 star rating from over 46,000 reviews on Amazon. One person said: “Excellent bit of kit. Very easy to use, with no subscriptions to worry about. Only audio warnings for hiding places for revenue collectors and cameras. It’s amazing how accurate it is, and gives you plenty of time to check for speed creep. Pays for itself in less than a week.”
Another added: “A proper lifesaver for your licence. I wanted the new OOONO CO-DRIVER NO2 after getting one too many “reminders” through the post. If you are tired of fiddling with your phone or waiting for Waze to load up just to drive down the road, this is exactly what you need. You get the alerts right there in front of you as well as the audible sound from the OOONO.
“Setup was simple. You just download the app, pair it up once and that is it, then it connects automatically as soon as you start the car and drive away.”
One buyer left a four-star review and had a few suggestions to improve the product, saying: “Neat little item and was able to locate easily in the car for use. Picks up speed cameras easily but does not state if cameras are average speed or mobile so this could be improved.” Another noted: “Great product, but wasn’t sticking perfectly to my dashboard. I had to order a different holder. But works perfectly.”
On the whole, most shoppers were pleased, like one who wrote: “This works perfectly. Yes Waze is good but sometimes I don’t have Waze running. This runs all the time so you always get alerts.”
The OOONO Co-Driver NO2 gadget is available from Amazon.
