Road Pilot Any Good?

[Stephen61]

got caught today in my works van by a casualty reduction van {CASH MACHINE} going though a quiet area of sheffield, i use this road nearly every day an its the first time iv'e ever seen one. it was hiding in a layby on a 1 way street in between two parked cars so you can't see it untill ur on top of it. 30 zone an i was doing about 36 :censor:

anyway iv'e had enough id rather spend a grand protecting myself than give another penny to another sneaky road tax so iv'e been to see about a radar detector.

Has any of you seen one called a micro road pilot? iv'e been quoted about £700 for one and an infared scrambler

iv'e been told it warns you in plenty of time for

GATSO

TRUVELO

SPECS

and completely jams the ones in the van, you can also add on a radar detector which scans for Hand helds and normal radar cameras {the grey boxes}.

I know its nearly twice as much as road angel but iv'e heard that not as good as its meant to be.

I don't drive fast genrally but im fed up of cameras being posted everywhere like on safe, quite, backcountry roads where its got nothing to do about saving lives and is all about making money!

scrambler are illegal, dunno how good they are, I wouldnt go that far, these mobile camera are hard to spot and the dectors dont give you much time, wait a while cos most GATSO are gonna get removed

Go look here for good reviews written by the guy who was on 5th Gear last year.

Personally, I wouldn't get a jammer - illegal.

I use a Cyclops. Warns of Truvelos, Gatsos, Specs and tells you the limit when you hit one. Simple, effective and rugged
