Which Speed Camera Detector?

[Bealo]

After getting caught for speeding i think it is time to invest in some protection against those buggers that hide behind trees etc trying to catch you speeding.

So what can you guys recommend as i haven't got a clue when it comes to speed camera hand held gun detection.

My car had a laser jammer fitted when I bought it - I removed it as they are basically seriously illegal (unless you can show you have the garage doors to match!).

Now I just use a satnav (Tomtom) with the PocketGPSWorld speed camera database. It has all the common mobile locations & all the fixed cameras. Very useful when out of your home area. Costs about 10-20 quid a year to subscribe.

How can people tell you have a laser jammer? I assume when they can't measure your speed? :bigcry:

Surely by that time you'd be gone?

i had a laser jammer that was very effective,LC400??(its been a long day!) my mate took it off... but i am thinking of replacing it, Ive seen a few more vans about recently :banghead:
I also have a bell 96r or something, it tells me if speed cameras are switched on which can be fun :whistle:

It causes the speed gun to return some sort of error code, which can be enough to make them realise you're jamming them. I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get the followup, but if caught they can do you for perverting the course of justice, which has way higher penalties than speeding (e.g., a criminal record, and possibly prison). There's at least one documented case where they followed up and the guy was jailed.

Here's some lesser penalties, but still worse than a few points:

Too risky for me anyway.

Not good! I'd do it if I had garage doors to match though, not a shadow of a doubt!

No experience personally but these have good reviews i think:

If travelling on unknown roads I use my TomTom. It's been good alerting me to the fixed Gatso type cameras, and accident blackspot areas. So far so good!!

I had a Road Angel a few years ago. I can't remember which model number, but I recall paying good money for it, I'm sure it was one of the best they did!? Anyway, that thing never flickered a light, or chirped, or warned me of anything the day I was caught doing............well, let's just say breaking the speed limit, ahem!! It also let me down on two other occasions, albeit I was within the speed limit, but the guy in the outside lane passing me was waved down on one occasion, and on the other the cop was definately pointing the speed gun at me!! I binned it after those experiences.

Any of the other devices (except GPS), think about it, have to pick up a laser signal to alert you. So if the speed trap warning device on your dashboard has been "zapped" you've been caught! They have your speed.

I've had too many points over the years now and wouldn't rely on any of them! I have to admit, I drive pretty sensibly these days!! Lol. Save it for the track!!

I have been meaning to price electric garage doors though! A jammer device could be invaluable one day!

I had a Lidetek garage door opener for a while:thumbs:

I'll second Tom Tom. I have an XL Live and it is brilliant. As mentioned above, every camera and accident hot spot has been bang on the money and more importantly, excellent pre-warning giving you plenty of time to react. Keep it well up-dated and you can't go wrong.

Random cops hiding in a hedge is a more difficult one. Not sure there's any way around that but they are usually in or just out of a built up area so you can minimise your risk by waiting until your well out of towns before planting it.

How do you find the Talex Dunc?????

You don't necessarily need garage doors for the jammers.

A 'laser pro park' is a fully functioning front parking sensor. Which 'may' have side effects.

It's still up to you if you fancy the risk though.

The idea is to slow quickly, turn it off, then let them get a reading. Less suspicion then.
