TBH mate you should get one that detects as many different types of speed trap as possible, fixed and mobile....

I'd be tempted by the two snooper models at £99.99, the £199 road angel or if could afford it the £229 one.

You'll end upo having to pay a montly subscription with those, but it'll be cheeper that 3 pts once your car insurance company finds out you got more point on your licence......

Road Angel - had one for years and saved my bacon on many an occasion. The live update one is the latest and the best - I have a Road Angel Plus but they don't make those any more apparently.

Ok quick fix Roadangel from the biggest rip off car parts retailer in the UK. In my opinion , check also comet, curry's etc they all sell them, but working in london 10 yrs living in scotland, you should be looking for something more long term as in a 360 degrees 6 band detector , have a look at rocky mountain radar, i got one a few years back and it lives in the glovebox 90% of the time, if you know what i mean. Detects all the anti-go-fast brigade have but to be 100% safe i guess the satnav types should be used in conjunction with aforesaid detector types.
