i have one its not a sat nav one, the sat nav ones are the best but are costly and you have to register them all the time mine is a micro fuzion one. it works well for speed cameras and you can see the fakes!!!!

Trouble is the government is bring in the 'Road Safety Bill' which will make gatso detectors illegal - expected start of next year I believe. You might be better of with a GPS one as they don't actually detect the camera, just the 'accident black spot' so they will remain legal.

It pisses me off as they say cameras are a visible deterant at accident black spots but then they ban detectors which just shows its all about raising money and not stopping accidents. Tossers

I've just got a Road Angel mate, peice of piss to update and register, 6 months free registration then a measly Ł3.99 pm after that

I had a snooper come with the Saph and let me tell you, it's nearly caused more accidents than prevented them or points! It really is worth less than a wank!

ive got the road angel classic..... free updates for life

but dont use it all the time.as driving to work only takes 20 mins and no cams via the drive

after about 3 days of no use..takes ages to pick up the gps signal when plugged in sometimes a hour for the display to boot up

it has the laser detector as a plug in item sticks to the screen.but as said illegal soon
