i got the best way out of speeding tickets possable  say that you and a family member use the car reguler say both of you used the car that day you both will accept fault if they can tell wat one was driving you will pay    they will say they have no idea OFFER TO PAY AGAIN IF THEY CAN LET YOU KNOW AND BE NICE  i done that 16 months ago still not heard anything lol and that was doing 90 in a 40 zone was like 4 am but they still wanted the cash till i said that then she didnt seem to take interest on the phone ;D

GPS and laser so detects everything :)
A snip at ?350 and also warns you of dogdy accident spots aswell as cameras. Needs constant updates from the net though to receive new camera locations.

but would you say well worth it?

how far in advance does it tell you theres a speed camera?

250, 500 or 1000 metres. I have it set to 500.
yeah it's worth it.
if you never leave your town then no, but if you drive on roads that you don't know then I'd say it was worth it.
The blackspot feature is nice too. Aparently speed camera detector users are far less likely to have accidents cos of the avoided sudden braking. :)
