Radar Detectors

September 21, 2004

Who here uses a detector,

what I want to know is how good/bad they actually are & is it worth my while investing in one.

P.S Dont get on my back about speeding as I have a totally point free license, I just want to keep it that way!!!!

Ya cant break the speed limit if your going in circles!!!!!! :thumbsup:

I have a cheap one and it does the job, road ngel and other GPS ones are the best

no points for speeding yet since 1999

I have invested in the road pilot which imo is superior to the Road Angel in every department (I have owned both)

Also some snooper laser diffusers for both front and rear protection from any kind of laser device. (lots of legal loopholes and issues, but not illegal to have on the car only if in use)

Can be turned on and off at the flick of a button.

I have not bothered with radar protection because after doing some research I found it best to go for the above for all round protection. Radar guns aren't used so much as laser and the Road pilot takes care of the fixed road camera's and doesn't false alarm.

All purchased through a trade deal I got with a friend in the trade at Car Electronics in Leicester.

click me

It would have been quite expensive and I probably wouldn't have purchased them at RRP...

Still very much worth it as it's so easy to get caught out even if your not the fastest driver on the road, such as the other day travelling down a hill in a 30mph limit and my speedo was at 34mph following traffic and driving normally and there was a traffic cop hidden in a driveway with a laser camera at the bottom of the hill.

My friend got done behind me for 34 and my laser diffuser bounced it off, ok fair enough I was 4 mph over, but hardly the crime of the century and easily done going down a hill.
