Good mronng my felllow gti friends,
Can someone recomend a good radar / laser detector?
I have just got myself a 3 door MK5 GTI and i dont wanna any problems... :wink: :wink:
-
Why not stick to speed limits :rolleyes:

Laser detectors are no good, as by the time the device detects a laser the police have already got your speed. They only work if there is someone is in front of you as they do pick up some laser scatter.
And as for the cameras, well if you can't read roadsigns and see bright yellow boxes, you shouldn't really be driving :rolleyes:

Snoopers are pretty damn good i must say, especially on motorways cos lets be realistic no one sticks to 70mph. They even pick up mobile cameras and gavvers with hand-guns on bridges etc, saved my mate 3 points and £60

Do you know what model snooper?? Cheers

They're also illegal now. The laser jammers/detectors. Only GPS Camera locators are legal now, the type that your satnav has.

Well the police could take you and check that it opens your garage door. :rolleyes:

Don't think they would, as it's not illegal to have a garage door opener.

No you don't, as it's not illegal to have one. There may be many reasons, such as it opens a mates door, or it's the last owners.

Didn't say it was illegal to have one, but you do have to prove a legit usage of it.
People who have them purely for jamming the laser detector have been prosecuted for perverting the course of justice.
And besides, they make a note of your reg when the laser gets jammed any way. If it happens a lot they have been known to turn up at peoples houses

This should settle everyones doubts.

Just maybe you can concentrate more on your driving rather than looking out for Fu*kin Speed Cameras everywhere you go :wink:.

Not sure on this, I whipped my police book out and it mentioned nothing about jammers:
