They are illegal. And during a magazine test they didn't work very well.

Consider one of the GPS databases - eg Origin, Geodesy etc. Or drive slower and observe better?

Enjoy your new car. Maybe I'm just used to the lower speedtrap density in Scotland.

... as well as professionally having to deal with the consequences of things not dissimilar to this:

www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=54817

Whether you believe speed kills or not the higher the speed the higher the kinetic energy in a square relationship of any impact you may find yourself in. However, I feel that speed cameras seem to be 80% revenue raising and 20% safety.

Don't know what car you are coming from, maybe telling you how to suck eggs etc. But I doubt the wisdom of a first mod to a Scooby being a numberplate to pervert the cause of justice.

www.speed-trap.co.uk may give you more useful info. Enjoy the board. No offence intended. And I'm not always squeaky clean myself...

The're a complete waste of money. Check out the web site the earlier post mentioned as you might want to consider a better detector or a laser jammer.

I think you'll find that a number of distributors of these plates have been taken to court by trading standards, 'cos they don't feckin' work.

Carry on like that and your nose will be blue from him punching you

Turn the caps lock key off or some prat will post that massive picture of their keyboard complete with crumbs and coffee in it with a big arrow pointing to the Caps Lock key. And I won't laugh as it has been done to death.

And no, argue all you like. Folk on here will be happy to justify their opinions, and the debate can be quite interesting. One thing I like about the board though is overall the level of responsibility that most people have concerning their driving - or at least that is what most of them say.

Blue nose if you want to reply and let people you dont really mean it or you are joking use similies etc.

If you look back up the thread there are quite a few good examples .
