Question Do any of these Road Angel type gizmos...

Do any of them allow you to make an audible alarm if you are speeding regardless of whether it is a high risk area?

Someone I know will soon be doing huge mileages for work, and drives at 40+ in 30 zones frequently without really thinking about it or noticing vans/cameras/gatsos etc, and then doesn't really brake if over the limit - last week they saw the camera but didn't brake enough and it flashed - just once. But with huge mileage I think it is only a matter of time and the license won't last long driving in unfamiliar areas.

You can set an Origin B2 to beep if you go over a certain speed, gets very annoying after a while though.

Does it do it by the individual speed limits automatically?

Unfortunatly not - It only has the speeds that the Camera's are triggered at stored in it. Like Iwan said - you can set an overspeed warning so it beeps when you hit a certain speed (default is 80) but it is annoying, cos you keep thinking you just been zapped by a scamera van...

My road Angel bleeps a kilometre away from the camera and the closer you get the louder the bleep so if that don't slow him down nothing will, you can set them at a kilometer/500 meteres/250 metres from the camera, so really he has plenty of time to slow down.
