After a fairly high speed run up to Sheffield on Saturday and the fear of now getting a nice surprise letter in the post I am thinking of investing in a radar detector. I know absolutely jack about them and wanted some PH advice.

I would get v frustrated with continual bleeping/flashing at anything that sent out frequencies so that is to be avoided. I dont mind false warnings for things such as M25 gantries etc but dont want it to extract the urine whilst driving around town.

I have heard that some are no good in the sense by the time it warns you of the laser detection (i assume this only refers to mobile units) then it is too late and you will be hearing from the bib shortly anyway. Is that right?

I read ted's review of the Cyclops and that seems a good option (and reasonably priced)

any advice appreciated.
