Bestest radar detector ever please!

Guys you got it wrong here.

A radar detector IS NOT A WASTE OF TIME...a radar detector will detect radars in the Ka band for example from miles away


the only slight problem with this argument is that , in general , the police no longer use Ka band radar in the UK other than in gatsos which the GPS based sytems deal with better
 
If you read my first post buddy you will notice that i mention Ku band.
The Ka band is just an example.

thats why my cobra was a waste of money....its not designed for europe...whereas the Bel 550 and V1 are...and they DO detect the Ku band which is the band that radars in europe transmit ;)...

For me a radar detector is important when doing 200km/h in the motorway but then again i live in Greece where you know police is as not strict...

I got pulled over the other day doing 190km/h and instead of having my licence, number plates removed and sent to court i got a 35 euro fine + 3 points off my licence...they wrote down in my ticked i was doing 128km instead...about 70 miles.

Veil though works well along with radar jammer...then you can go full speed without worries...or you just ride your bike and worry about nothing...mad flap removed, number plate under the tail of the bike aiming at the road :D sorted...

.

Ku is not eally used either , for hand helds it is almost exclusively laser , LTi20-20 etc

obviously this only applies to the UK , from what I've seen of driving in Greece I didn't think any driving laws were enforced ;)

In order to avoid LASER detection you need a RADAR JAMMER and VEIL...

If you dont wanna spend money on these two then its not the radar detectors fault :D....

Actually its you who clearly keeps getting it wrong!

As Rotty keeps saying the police in the UK dont use RADAR anymore, so we dont need a Ku/Ka band detector - also reading how you get loads of false alarms (probably from garage door openers etc.) is hardly awe inspiring!

Laser detectors are pointless, by the time they detect you've been had, and a RADAR jammer will not help, you would need a LASER jammer like ther LRC100, however these are illegal in the UK and you will get busted if you have one.

So, to summarise the only system worth having, that you can legally have in the UK is a GPS based system like the origin B2, detectors for radar and laser are pointless.
 
As previously mentioned, the Drive Smart is probably one of the best devices out there..

1. It's has GPS with free speed camera updates for life, and even intelligently measures your average speed when in a SPECS zone
2. It's got an option of what is one of the only truly working laser detectors, and comes with a number plate mounted sensor, which is spookily where they aim the laser guns..
3. It's a good price..
4. Its made in the UK, and is being developed all the time, so more and more features are being added..

look at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/drive-smart.php for a review and as already mentioned previously www.drive-smart.co.uk for the product itself..
 
What do people make of the Road Angel series of devices? Thinking of investing in one of those...

Very good , maybe a bit short of the Origin B2 nut cheaper and easier to install , have a look at the Talex , virtually as good and loads cheaper

cheers, will do, tho i've seen a RA Classic (with laser for £115 new) and a RA (2?) can be got for me for £90 new (w/out laser det) so the prices are quite reasonable as-is...
 
Yes you were right...i was wrong about radar jammer...i meant laser jammer...in fact i havent got a clue if a radar jammer exists...

Keep in mind i aint british mate and my english aint that good...

TBH...getting stopped by the police and getting a huge fine for the laser jammer sounds a bit too rare to happen mate.

What if you just use VEIL...how can they detect it?i dont think they can.

In fact if you are so worried about the police and stuff then why does someone buy a sports car....m3s etc when theres no way you can get away with speeding etc?Why dont they rather buy a 1.4 petrol car so that its cheaper to run and you can cruise doing 70 without getting arrested...Arround here i can go full throttle for 2 hours without getting stopped...
I hope you get the idea what i mean.
We all take risks...for me such laser-radar detection devices will help so that i can still go full throttle expecpt from areas where Gatsos are installed (still you can prevent from being photographed by these with other means of gatso protection devices) without being pulled over...It may be different in the UK...i agree with that...i have only driven a little bit over there...
