Is it a laser jammer you have then? Does it work effectively? I would love one of those to piss off the stupid speed camera guys.


Having been in a car with a very nice laser jammer a few months back mate I can safely say that they work. The driver was proud to tell me that it had got him out of one or two scrapes when he had missed speed cameras and laser guns


I want one! Simon where did you get yours from and how much did it set you back?

Was coming back from Lambo Manchester today on the M62 when I notice one of those very annoying 'Traffic 'Officer' Shoguns that most people think are the Police. There must have been a 200yd tailback of people not wanting to overtake so I pulled alongside (he was in the middle lane) and floored it in 4th and left him standing. 10 mins later and plod in an X5 appears in my rear view and immediatly pulls me near Rochdale. Very nice chap simply asked for my docs and asked why I was goading his colleagues in the highways dept.Apparently the guy had contacted the Police and said I sped away at 120mph. Yea Right.Anyway he had a sit in the Lambo, then a look around and saw the little black box at the front on the grill. 'Parking sensor I suppose?' he says smiling. 'Umm of course officer' I said. 'Go on, on your way' with a grin, and off I went.
So the moral is don't take the p*ss out of the Highways agency guys


If I may surmise, some proles in a boring job saw your supercar and got jealous and made up a story (he was doing 120mph officer!) in order to 'get back at you' for earning more money then they do...

gits mad

oh well, at least you weren't too inconvenienced!

GF's dad is a HATO and told me that if I go past him at what he judges to be more than 80mph he'll radio ahead for a plod to pick me up...

just remind me what training a HATO has for speed judging anyone?

Those highway guys are on £25k a year according to an article I read. Quite a good job for cruising up and down coning stuff off etc. Am I the only one who thinks they go overboard 'overconing' everything? They put their cones absolutely everywhere.



For months, going up and down the M4/M5 I've seen shi* loads of these Highway Agency vehicles, then a few months ago when my engine gave way at 5am on a Monday morning at Newbury and I was stuck on the hard shoulder, freezing cold and p'd off, how many did I see?

Big, Fat 0
