I'm looking at buying a speed camera detector for my wife's car, (she's a hooligan), and need some advice on which one.

There's a great deal on the Snooper S6R Neo at present - £253.

This one has a GPS database as well as laser and radar. It appears that Tony and his cronies will be banning radar detection at some point in the near future so it's not imperative but I think would be useful. I could always buy a separate radar device though as they are very cheap these days due to the imminent ban.

I have also looked at Road Angel which has cheaper subscription and read some good write ups of the Micro Road Pilot. Eek so many to choose from.

Please help.

Lots of suggestions so far. Thanks guys.

Drivesmart is a new one on me. I was concentrating on mainsream products so very useful info.

Not sure about 'Vision' and 'Mk1 Eyeball' though. Tends to be too late with Truvelo and laser detectors unless using binoculars! 'Mk2 Light Foot' is a useful product but tend to take too long for big distances.

I've got Tom Tom in my car and your right the camera database is very good. I am reluctant to put it in the wife's car as it has built in Sat Nav so seems a bit superfluous, however it isn't any more expensive, (in fact could be cheaper), and may just be the best option.

Let's follow the example of France and ban all vehicle-borne speed "trap" detectors. Drive within the limits; save money/fuel/stress...............maybe even your or someone else's life. Sorry to be boring but buying a speed trap detector is saying "I'm going to break the law - what device will assist me best ?".



Er....yes!!!
