Default FAO Ppl with the new road angel!?

I am borrowin a new style road angel off me m8 as he lost his licence!

Now I believe these puppies can detect every form of detction out there!? correct!? or not!?

I have only come up across fixed cameras @ the mo so unsure as to wether it works on van sites & coppers on the side of the road with a gun!?

also will it pick up on these new speed trap/SPECS cameras they r startin to use on the M4!?

I regularly up date it!

Also its got the built in laser! will this make it illegal when the law comes in2 play!?

Should pick up the van

They use laser round here to work out your speed

None of the windscreen mounted detectors are guaranteed to pick up laser though,
the laser is aimed at your number plate and only has a spread of 10 inches max,so
your road angel/snooper in windscreen is no good

most coppers that sit in the van at the side of the road appear in the same place a lot of time ie; bad areas! they are always in the same plces round our way so all i do is stop and put that location in my snooper then that way i can upload the info to the site and people can D/L it ( every little helps ) so hopefully the people in bedford and around that way will do it to heres hoping anyway.....

Yes m8,think that will give you 2-3 seconds after telling you've hit been to slow down
Depends how far above the speed limit you are if you've got time to brake to under the limit before the laser beam gets back to camera/gun
