Bugger

NB - Schoolboy error: GPS detector and no lazer gun detector.

 

well 380 bhp does mean ne nar ne nar, hope it not as bad as you think

 

Andy,

Gutted mate

Craig.

 

and I got a 7 day fix it, for not having a front Number plate...

Understandable really

Never mind

I'll live and never learn


Andy

 

2 things on the windscreen and one is the GPS sensor.

What's the other one for then ??
I thought that was a Radar/Laser detector ?


Andy

 

Never bought one of them things & never intend to - keeps the cost of any tickets down

 

agreed
the gps things are good for known sites, the rest are all complete ****e when it comes to helping you not get a ticket from mr copper with a speed gun (probably why they arn`t illegal anymore, they dont work)

 

[pttty, self-righteous mode]why were you doing 41 in a 30, you should be shot, blah blah blah[/scoobynet mode off]

 

Moral of the story - get a laser diffuser.

Even a detector wouldn't have saved you - by the time it all starts going haywire and buzzing etc, it's too late. Laser detectors as part of radar detectors aren't worth diddly squat.

 

Not totally true, they can be effective at longer range such as on the motorway when you can pick up reflected laser energy or the edge of a dispersed beam. However, since the beam only disperses 200 mm or so at 200 feet at ranges less than that, and if it is being aimed steadily at your number plate, then it is quite feasible your sensor will not pick it up.

 

B2 does have the laser detector (but not radar) - the little dark red plastic thing with three "eyes" on the front and one on the back.

How effective they are is another matter - either at detecting or warning you (not enough time to respond)

I got a snooper for christmas - It has saved me once already. That makes it worth its weight in gold to me. (mind you they aren't that heavy)

 

Bad news Fuzz, gutted for you

Dee

 

to be honest buying this sort of thing seems like tempting faint, i bet alot of u when u got it felt safer driving at higher speeds because of it, which is why u should get rid of it. by speeding what makes u different from the boy racers flying around town squares?

 

0.3 seconds to get a laser lock, by the time that the unit has alerted you you have been caught.

 

I noticed in your video that there was no front plate..

Sorry about the speeding ticket..

doh

Simon

 

Well we said didnt we .......Sorry for ya

Paul

 

yep should have stuck it on whilst we were all in the workshop on Saturday.

hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Not that it would have prevented the ensuing speeding ticket though.

Andy

 

Oh it gets better today.... [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Again my own fault for rushing..

A quick drive to the central ticket office (which happens to be Gloucester police station) after getting my plate fixed and the 7 day fix it stamped by a garage.
I spy a blue sign saying "max time 3 hrs" "not returning in 2" (not quite exact text, but you know what they say),
Anyway I spy a space there, slip the car in and run round the corner to reception, hand over ticket, quick explanation and she puts it in an envelope for the correct dept..
ahh done and dusted I thought.
Run back to car to find not only a parking ticket for £40 on the window but I've also been reported for "failing to display Vehicle licence"

Now.... I notice the Pay and disply meter hiding under a bush.

Andy

I hate the law.

 

definitely should have kept an eye on what was happening round the CORNER




Andy

 

Sorry to hear that mate.

Just watched your video its cool.

What dump valve are you using ?

 

NONE

and I like it that way
