mdubgti Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dont get the neo 6 my friend has it and its rubbish though its one of the most expensivecan never keep its gps signal and without the signal it wont detect anything so its useless. roadangle 2 is wicked tho id suggest buying the extra gps antenna sticking in ur grill and wiring the road angle to somewhere sorta below your steering wheel out of site from the chav lovely persons!

mdubgti Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 www.speedsafe.co.uk - if u buy something from speedsafe and you get cought speeding they will pay your fine for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubDub Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 If your dial read 40 then you were prob only doin bout 35 ish. I have the Origin B2 and one of the 1st things I noticed was the difference in speed between what the dials said and what the GPS said. I'll get an exact figure for 40 on the way home later...

payna Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 actually to be honest it was more like `38-40`, iam still dreading the post for the next couple of days though.cheers dub, much apreciated! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyggy Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yeh my mate has a road angel and I was marvelling at it... he's not got caught speeding......... by gatso's etc that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Andrew, I got caught by one of those ******* safety camera vans! 79 in a 60. But the Road Angel didn't beep for it, I felt gutted! It might be one for the wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 i've now got a road angel 2 and it is brilliant - only probs is safety camera vans never park within acpo guidelines - therefore because of the shape of the laser beam it is too narrow for the road angel to pick up. IMO road angel is brilliant for fixed, mobile (3 strips in road) truvello, specs etc. but if you want to avoid getting nicked by safety camera vans, you need a laser jammer. they are about £250. this is conjunction with road angel will give you piece of mind! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I watched something on 5th gear the other day, and a Copper said that the use of a GPS unit is legel as all it is doing is provideing information.Its only the blockers that are not legal.

Snoopy Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Correct. GPS, Laser and Radar detectors are all currently legal. Laser and radar jammers are illegal.The government are trying to make laser/radar detectors illegal. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payna Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 cheers dubhmm... so before i got up to the camera, when i looked at my speedo it read prob around 38 slowing down too. so lets say i was doing around 35.think il still got done for that, but if it read me after then it would have been lower.Could be a painful two weeks waiting to see what comes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Lupo Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 think il still got done for that, but if it read me after then it would have been lower.safety camera ****s work on a quota system....ie if they have x number of people 36 mph and over you get away with it....however if business was slow that day and they did not reach their quota then they'll screw you. apologies for the cheery response, but as you can guess i'm no fan of the feckers. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 well this is the point i was thinking of.one of the lads at work saw it that morning in one place, my dad saw it in another just before dinner, then i saw the effin thing at dinner time in a different place to both of those, and then about 45 mins later when i was on my way back to work it wasnt there anymore!!i bet the swines were moving around quite alot so people wouldnt get wise to were abouts they were ....as you can guess, i dont have alot of time for em either mate!!never mind, i still havent heard anything yet so everyone keep their fingers crossed for me eh!andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Don't many people like them eitherAs has been proved twice in recent weeks, if someone in your street gets shot dead the police will wait a while (hours) before turning upAfter these two shootings, it seems you can go and blow someone you don't like away and you won't get caught as long as you don't do more than 31mph during the getaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
