Illegal.... :rolleyes: Never :grin:

My dad has that stuff on his bikes and when we travel we spray it on the car. It wipes off and works a dream. Going to take the Golf up the Garden route in August(600km drive) so will def be using that stuff ha ha ha

How the hell would it work at night if it didn't flash?

Also how could the police "in car camera" pick it up? Wouldnt it need to flash you to see that you have it on?

with an infra red light

EDIT:

these are the ones we have round my way

To avoid the 'flash' which is given out by a rear facing Gatso camera the Truvelo system uses an infra red flash which produces no visible 'flash' to the approaching driver.

Specs (average speed) don't use a flash either

also it won't make a difference with the digital speed cameras

anyone see Top Gear where they tried to beat a speed camera? think the only way was to drive past one at about 160MPH +  :laugh: :laugh:
