Looking for a good radar detector, I've had a look at the road angel type, but they don't seem to detect the radar, but rely on the data base and GPS??? What can people recommend?? Cheers

You might not get away with the scrambler in the UK at the end of the link it says:-

"The purchase and possession of the Stinger Laser are fully legal in the UK. Also the use of the Laser Alert functionality are fully legal in the UK. However, active use of the Stinger LaserShield with the intent to hinder a police laser speed measurement is not legal. We advise to only employ the Stinger LaserShield in countries where its use is fully legal."

The parking sensor ones are legal, but you still may have to go to court to argue the case. And you will have to pay costs, even if you win. frown

Thats up to you if you want to use it or not but at least its picks up the lazer well in advance of other units.

I posted a thread about this last week to see what people thought. I had a good look around and decided to go with a Snooper 3zero. It had won a few comparison group tests and seemed to do everything i wanted.
It arrives tomorrow so will let you know how i get on.

cheers
