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 ?

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)

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.

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)

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?

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.

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.

I hate the law.
