I’m looking for a new speed detector can anyone recommend a good value for money unit?

February 21st, 2010 | by admin |

I have a tomtom one but have to pay £19.99 a year to keep it up to date. I have been looking at the Snooper S2 (£30ish) as it comes with a lifetime update at the moment.

I know it’s illegal to speed, speed kills etc…before all the self righteous people start, but speed cameras in the majority are used as cash grabbers and not safety cameras.

The cheapest thing to use are your eyes!! In my vast driving experience they are the only tools I need to spot fixed speed / " safety " cash generators.( usually bright reflective yellow ) You can buy an up to date road atlas with all the fixed sites in the UK for less than £10 but if you are one of the young generation of road users I doubt if you know how to read one. Get to know the speed limits of the various roads you drive on & stay close to that limit. It is not the speed itself that kills, but is a combination of inattention coupled with a sudden ‘emergency’ & sudden stop which could result in a fatality. As for the mobile camera vans which can catch you from a couple of hundred yards away, if the van is parked on the verge / path, you may have a case against the ticket, as the van would be illegally parked if not in a layby
