possibly not best foundation for licence retention,

as far as mobile cameras are concerned, by the time you see them or most devices on dashboard sound off, its already too late most likely,

fixed locations are plotted on your decent sat-navs so you get directions as well,

a jammer is still a grey area in UK at present,

or take off the front plate...

My tomtom go 300 has most mobile sites programmed in so i get about 700yds notice.

97 out of 100 times there are no camera's there but there is a chance they will be, its up to you if you listen to the warning or not.

When i was a rep (about 2000) i bought a radar detector (bel vector europa?) you could turn off all the bands not used in the uk to massively reduce false alarms. It did always give me decent warning of mobile units and probably 15-40m on gatso's. It cost about £350 at the time but ive got to say it was well worth the money wink

Dont people use these anymore or is it all gps? It seems to me any that are on gps would be usually pretty visable anyway and isn't it the mobiles which get most people?

If you have the time, you can often check on the net where you local police force are out and about that day.

Not sure I would trust it much, tbh.

That would just bog you down under a heap of possibles wouldn't it though?

formerly I would have said eyeball as well,
but pictures posted here of some clown hiding in a hedge with his scamera, and Police Bike, changed all that.

no, they don't play the game, so I'm not either.

Have tried various makes, of detector, in the past and now use Valentine.
Far superior to anything else tried.

Just buy a laser jammer. They can be fitted into your grill nowadays.

Then several months later find your door kicked in at 6am and be dragged off for perverting the course of justice.

a friend of mine has a "garage door opener" which happens to jam laser speed traps. It actually opens his garage door too which might help

and where might one aquire such a useful device.
I always find it such a bind to have to open my own garage door.

Only time I ever heard that happening was round here, when some chavvy numpty
fitted One and blasted Back and Forth past a mobile taunting them.

Which I imagine left them no choice but to trailer it away One Morning, and quite right to,

you can be ever so slightly selective in its use you know.
