GPS and Radar thingies...
Discussion
Has anyone actually seen a Laser Jammer work? I'd love to use one, but apart from the legal questions (yeah right, I'm speeding and then I'm worried about legalities!?!) do they actually prevent the police from getting a speed reading on your car as it zooms towards them?
I have a radar detector, and treat it as 'extra information' on top of common sense and my eyesight. The last two are the most important things to prevent you getting stopped for speeding.
Thanks.

There's an article on the new Geodesy (GPS plus radar detector) on Pistonheads:-

bit pricey though.

I got a Bell 990 a few years back. It was supposed to be as good if not better than the Valantine 1 - depends on which report you read !
Its saved me a quite a few times on new roads. I don't think it picks up SPECS though as I was on the M62 recently and nothing registered as I went throught the series of cameras - just hope I didn't average too much from A to B !
All told I'm pretty happy with the 990. A few false alarms now and then, but used in conjuction with your eyes and brain, it works well.

RR - I can imagine flying along with half a dozen of these buggers jammed up against the windscreen! Can't you just picture it, with your 600bhp 993RS snorting along at 200mph and then being more pissed off at the technology failing you than MadCop hauling you in and throwing away the keys?!
Another question - do these things work better stuck to the windscreen then on your dash? And how good is their rear detection ability?
