I have a Talex camera detector and it alerts me to fixed cameras and mobile detectors and it works great it also announces known accident spots and can and can be updated from Talex, and keeps all the information in it’s memory it gets all this info. from satellites and has various settings including a safe driving mode and gives a satellite time check every hour, and it cost less than £70.00 with a three year warranty, check the Talex web page. I get about 700 yds. warning. And they are legal in the UK. the unit plugs into the cigarette lighter socket no other wiring is needed.

Detectors are illegal, and probably only detect AFTER the speed camera has got you! GPS devices (Inforad, road angel, tomtom &c.) are legal but only indicate the known camera sites. Temporary road works sites, mobile camera vans and so on are not detected.

Why not just stick to the speed limit.

go to this website, http://www.mythbusters.com, they did a segement about it. they tested the theory and proved the camera is faster than the car and now aftermarket blocker actually works to block out your plate number. and besides, the camera gets you coming and going at the same time.. so they have a visual picture of who is driving the vehicle.
