Got my Bel Euro 550 last night - hurrah!!!

went out testing it, driving past Gatso's n stuff. Top bit of kit

Come across a marked T5 on the M23 and followed him closely for 8 miles, then passed him and he followed me for about four miles.

Just me and him on the road.

NOT A BLEEDIN SQUEEK FROM THE RADAR DETECTOR!!!!?!?

Is that right?

Could it be he had everything turned off?

VASCAR system uses measured distance, so emits nothing!

Vascar is purely video, it uses time over distance to calculate speed, it is operated by the pig, errm i mean officer, in the car pushing a button at fixed marker points as they are crossed by themselves and you.

For information the car does not evan have to follow you, they can travel over a preset distance between two points, save it, then sit up the road eating donuts and time the passing traffic - cool eh!!

Sorry you wasted your money if you thought you were gonna be protected from them.

bought the best radar detector, great, YES YES YES cmon you dont really think thats all there is to geting caught for speeding,to make it simple your detector will detect every camera going,
fair enough it might not be quick enough for you but , FU*K

you have a problem VASCAR they have followed yor car and your detector doent registor it WHY

because your detector only detects LASER/GATSO and since a unmarked car has no signal what so ever there is no way in hell you could ever detect one, if you have found that does! ILL HAVE TEN. if a detcetor could detect vascar your license would be clean permanently
