No more NIPs

[LordGrover]

Due to a recent three point debit to my licence, it's time to invest in a device to help protect against further blemishes on my otherwise clean record.
I've had a quick butchers through the forum and the devices above seem to be popular with the RA Pro Connected possibly the most popular.
Which would you recommend and why?

FYI: I was nabbed going West where I'm well aware there is a fixed camera for Eastbound traffic but the crafty beggars must've had a van pointing the other way.

Mk 1 eyeball ahead of any of those to be honest.

How about the Novus Piccolo, more discreet than others and has the same good quality database of the GPS Rider.

My TT 730 never fails to warn me of "fixed" cameras.

Well i have a pogo which has never failed me and is bullet proof accurate and have done since around 2006. I have no points and do around 50-60k miles a year if thats a reasonable indicator of its abilities.

Otherwise the the bell is a good piece of kit i believe.

I have a RA Pro Connected. Not the cheapest but works well, good battery life and nice to be up to date all the time. The 'connected' bit costs around £50 a year subscription but that's less that one SP30.

I'm looking at getting something to do the same - managed to pick up 6 points in 6 weeks - both Scamera vans.

I can spot the yellow fixed cameras but by the time you've seen the van you've been had.

Think i'll probably get a Tomtom 750 Go Live. Apparently uses the same information, updated in real time, as the Road Angel connected. And it's a sat nav too. Live services £7.99 a month though.

[rovermorris999]

I think the Live service on the RA is around £50 per year, less if you buy two or more years.

There's also an older thread on a number of these units from a while back. I have had the RA Pro Connected for just over a year now and rate it highly prior to the Pro Connected I had the standard RA I think it's fair to say that my clean license to date is down to having had one of these devices for the last 8 years or so.

I use an Inforad K1. £40, free updates for life (uses the PocketGPSWorld camera database, so tends to err on the side of caution), battery operated and discreet.

Can't really go wrong - yes it gets mixed up when you're on fast roads and a camera is close on a slower road, but that's a small price to pay, and you still get plenty of warning (20 seconds default, you can adjust it up to 1 minute) so you can easily tell if it's a legit activation or a false alarm.
