What's the betting they go for the "but they are illegal" angle at the end . I'll be nicely surprised if they get it right.

The trailer said "they'd be looking at all the ways of beating speed cameras both legal and illegal" so my guess is they will know their moo tard as far as the law is concerned

last time the subject of speeding was covered that muppet quinton whatshisname spouted all sort of absolute tosh, including if the driver was foreign the police make attempts at tracking them down such as passport controls etc.

Looks like Origin B2, Road Angel Laser, and Target LRC100 are the gadgets to get according to the program shown this evening.

I think he was asked to say this crap, or else every man and his dog would use the loophole.
They would then close the hole legislatively (as they've done elsewhere in Europe).
So we're better off, really!

Definately! The 'new born baby' loophole seems watertight to me yet he didn't advocate it...

I couldn't make out what they were recommending. They seemed to flash up pictures of all sorts without even naming some!

Spent ages on the Bel 550 and Cheetah then said that GPS is the way to go.

I guess they edited it a bit more than they intended!

They recommended the GPS based units (Origin b2, Road Angel (which Tiff is paid to advertise) and the Geodesy GPS) added to the LRC100 laser jammer.

I got the LRC100 coupled to the b2, excellent combination.

Here's a re-run of the video:

When you say Geodesy GPS I take it you mean the Micro Road Pilot? I didn't see Geodesy.
