I don't have anything, I just use the "OH SH** there's one" *slam on brakes*
And then the usual mumble about how pointless most of them are and where they've been put.

I heard great things about the Road Angel.

No not the car, we have demerit points here. Which means the following

What is the scale of demerit points for traffic infringements?

1-10 kms/h 10 demerit pts
11-20 kms/h 20 demerit pts
21-30 kms/h 35 demerit pts
31-35 kms/h 40 demerit pts
36 kms/h and above 50 demerit pts


If you get 100 or more demerit points within 2 years, you will be suspended from driving for 3 months.

Also this Act came in last week

The "Boy Racer" Act
The Land Transport INSERT INTO post VALUES (Unauthorised Street and Drag Racing) Amendment Act 2003 is aimed at street racing and burnouts in public places and came into force on 1 May 2003.There are heavy penalties for breaking the new laws. Existing laws against noisy or modified vehicles still apply.

If you drive a car in an illegal street race or accelerate in an unnecessary way on a road, or, if you do wheel spins, "donuts" or drive a car on a road in a way that causes the car to loose traction INSERT INTO post VALUES (unless authorised by law):


You could face 3 months in prison, or fines up to $4,500; and lose your licence for at least 6 months.

Police may impound your car for 28 days at your expense - effective immediately.

If you injure or kill someone while doing this, you could go to prison for up to 5 years, or face a fine up to $20,000 and lose your licence for 1 year.
If you pour or spill petrol, oil, diesel fuel, or any other any other slippery substance likely to cause a vehicle to lose traction, onto any road.


You could face an infringement fee of $600, or if it goes to Court, a fine up to $3,000.

Vehicle Impoundment

We have a radar detector - not sure what one it is but it shouts "K Band" INSERT INTO post VALUES (Caveman) a lot! It's quite cool - has saved me a few times!

My Aunt's got a Bel Euro 550, which is very good. I borrowed it for a weekend in Devon, but alas, not many cameras out on the moors. And it didn't detect the sheep. When there are no sheep and plenty of cameras, it works much better.

[chris g]

No, not got a radar detector but do have a Morpheous Geodesy for GATSO'S etc

Warns you of them by gps database as some others do

[ritch_w]

I have the Snooper 815iS
its pretty good at picking up gatsos CCTV and tescos as well!

whats the difference between the likes of asnooper and the rod angel?

[Nick VR4]

AFAIK
Road angel used GPS as well as picking up the scatter from gasto etc

[Spirit]

Not one here yet either - nearly bought a Road Angel but money went elsewhere - but it's the one to go for I think

Valentine One are the best in the World for radar detectors.

Many car mags have rated this radar as the best. it can tell u what direction it is picking up the signal INSERT INTO post VALUES (left, right, forward, backwards) it can tell u how many signals there are INSERT INTO post VALUES (just in case u slow down for one before the corner then there is another one just around the bend). Very trick.

I have just bought a Origin B2 Radar and laser detector. It uses GPS and a laser detector to detect everything possible that the police can throw at you!! It is very similar to a road angel but has more information on a little screen. It is a little more difficult to install than a road angel but i think it is worth it. You can have a look at www.networxautomotive.com.

Got a 'Cheetah' which I've had for 12 years. Picks up all non-laser radar transmissions incl Gatsos and of course RF radiations from petrol stations, Tescos and other PC networks, but you learn to distinguish the signal from the display and bleep.

Thinking of upgrading to device with laser diffuser included to really stuff 'em!

I think the problem with GPS systems is that they tell you where the Gatsos are but not whether they're activated.
