I want to get my dad one, but am unsure which one to get. It needs to be simple to operate as well, as my dad is getting on.
can anyone make some suggestions

thanks

I have this device, it has saved me getting any speeding tickets for decades, it is 100% reliable if used correctly ..... the user will never, ever get a speeding ticket!!

Fantastic invention ....

Apart from the fact you're doing 100mph.
(Probably to get the hell out of Tadley!!!)

anyone please - has no one got a radar detector?

I had a Road Angel Plus which certainly did the job. One of the things I liked about it was that it was powered by a rechargeable battery which lasted 8 hours so there were no trailing wires in the car when I was using it. (It had a cable for longer journeys).

It was recently destroyed by accident and I found that it has been discontinued so I searched for a replacement which was also powered by a rechargeable battery and the only one I found was the Novus Rider. I've only just ordered it so can't tell you anything about its accuracy, however it costs about £90 and there is no charge for keeping the database up to date.

Snooper 3Zero and tell your dad not too speed

Ten years ago everyone in the clubs seem to have them but don't see many about now

Not sure why
I used a road angel for years with no problems

Tidgy

just to add, im looking at navangel, which is shat nav and speed trap. the 9k one seems to have traffic reports, accident black spots and speed traps.

anyone got one and know if it's any good?

I think that most people use sat navs that have the fixed camera points and i think the radar detectors never really lived up to their claims

Don't I remember you getting caught out by a couple of coppers in the bushes once Pete?

My Snooper is simple and never fails to warn me.

Is that the dog Leslie ?

You can do this privately now , not sure what sort of percentage you get and you probably have to purchase your own gun

Main problem is laser. The LT20-20 can be targetting you up to a MILE distant and takes 0.01 seconds to take a reading.

No detector and driver's braking foot can react at that distance or that fast.

Leslie

No that will be the black and white Cat.

Ok sorry postman pat

Yep.

And to defeat those you need a jammer, however the police will know that the signal is probably being jammed and you could end up much worse off as a result assuming they follow it up.

Valentine one is a true laser radar detector. For gps based use any good satnav device with loaded sites. You can set the warning distance usually.

Perfectly legal if you`ve got an automatic garage door

^^^^^ oh yes. error on the gun. buzzer in the car. stamp in the middle pedal. pass the 5-0 at a respectable speed.

As Above....Most sat Navs have speed trap locations in them these days that can be updated...jus use that if your in an area that you dont know. I think your much more likely to get pulled over by an unmarked car these days tbh, worth just being on alert all the time and sensible about when your gonna put your foot down.

Thats where jammers, sorry parking sensors come into play, if you have big enough ***** to have one installed on your car of course.

For fixed location speed cameras, ie Gatso, you cannot beat GPS detectors such as the Road Angel or some Sat Nav systems.

Radar is not really used any more in this country as a mobile speed detection device, however Gatso cameras still use radar to calculate your speed as you go past. But if you go across the pond into Europe or even Ireland, you will still find Radar being used with mobile speed traps.

Problem with radar detectors is that the radar band used by the radar speed traps is the same/similar radar as used by automatic doors etc. So you will get many false alerts which defeats the object of owning one.

Some good radar detectors will detect Gatso's well ahead, also handy to know if the Gatso is actually loaded up and working. A lot of Gatso's where I live are not on, they swap and change between them every few weeks.

But if you want complete protection then you will need a good GPS based warning system such as a Road Angel.

Then you will need a laser jammer, diffuser, blinder, what ever you want to call it. But be warned, if you get caught using one and its proven that it has been installed to jam laser, you WILL be banned.

Forget laser detectors, they are different from jammers and simply detect the laser, by then its too late, laser or LIDAR as it properly known will take a few milliseconds to get your speed.

There is one other option, dont speed, lol

Got it in one!
