Woolworths GPS Inforad Speed Camera Detector £79.99

I know alot of people are anti speed dectector detectors, but I think these things will reduce speeds in areas where clearly reduced speeds are needed.

Rather ironically the more fines there are the less the speed cameras are working.

I think fixed location camera notifiyers are fine as they only let you know theres one there rather than a radar detecter that actually lets you know that its working or not, i think the goverment are have been trying to get the radar/laser detecters banned again.

These are not actually a bargain in the normal sense of the word. These are full priced items, ie selling at the rrp, though as of yet I haven't seen them anywhere else for less!

I wouldn't be surprised if maplin don't have them soon (if they don't already and you can always get discount there following the usual methods).

I'm actually looking for something suitable for a motorbike, and will probably opt for the road angel, but still waiting at present.

From what I can tell these are probably useful, but not as useful as the more expensive models such as the snooper or road angel variety. I did look into it a little while ago, but they seem very limited, (3 leds - green amber red) whereas road angel for example gives a heck of a lot of information - (plus a radar detector I believe - which may or may not become illegal - I'm not sure about overseas at present in the UK the gps models are perfectly legal).

Final thing to watch out for is the cost of renewing a subscription (at least with a the original road angel after a one off payment of £100 that was a lifetime subscription).

Finally just to clarify I'm not sponsered by road angel or snooper!
