Which Speed Camera Detector?

If travelling on unknown roads I use my TomTom. It's been good alerting me to the fixed Gatso type cameras, and accident blackspot areas. So far so good!!

I had a Road Angel a few years ago. I can't remember which model number, but I recall paying good money for it, I'm sure it was one of the best they did!? Anyway, that thing never flickered a light, or chirped, or warned me of anything the day I was caught doing............well, let's just say breaking the speed limit, ahem!! It also let me down on two other occasions, albeit I was within the speed limit, but the guy in the outside lane passing me was waved down on one occasion, and on the other the cop was definately pointing the speed gun at me!! I binned it after those experiences.

Any of the other devices (except GPS), think about it, have to pick up a laser signal to alert you. So if the speed trap warning device on your dashboard has been "zapped" you've been caught! They have your speed.

I've had too many points over the years now and wouldn't rely on any of them! I have to admit, I drive pretty sensibly these days!! Lol. Save it for the track!!

I have been meaning to price electric garage doors though! A jammer device could be invaluable one day!
