Spend $50 and get the actual radar detector to keep in your car. I don't see what the hype is. And yes, the thing with NOKIA dubbing as the radar detector has been around for 4-5 yrs. My friend, a proud Nokia owned, paid many a speeding ticket, whilst convinced his "radar detector" was on.
I guess it depends on whether or not you believe in Santa Claus...  |

Yes, Judge understood me well. Phones and compact discs have
nothing with police radars or lasers. It's only a joke, but people
like to believe it. |

Well in the tests i've seen the cd in the back window trial does REDUCE the chance of them getting a clear picture, nothing to do with lasers just reflects the light from the flash. Still, in most of the tests it only works about 10% of the time. Best advice is don't break the speed limit or just deal with it and pay the fines

what could (possibly) be done, with the p800, is a GPS based app with the locations of static cameras and known police hideouts. it would make some kind of alert on nearing one of these positions, hopefully helping u to avoid a ticket!
there are systems that u can buy to do this but they cost a fortune.
normal radar detectors are crap anyway. my mate had one in his car, we were sitting in a car park and the bloody thing went off! apparently it would go off when going past shops with auto doors too lol
the speed limit should be raised on motorways anyway but thats never gunna happen *sigh*

@SCORPIONKING1982, Do you really think the M11/M25 near you would benefit from more idiots trying to do 90mph up each others arses on an already overcrowded crappy 3 lane road,
I don't.
I think it should be 60mph in the busy day time when its the most dangerous, but 85mph at night after midnight when its empty. to encourage using them at night.

Good radar/laser detectors work very well. You do get other alarms on to register on it around motion detector alarm systems on businesses and such but they are a different alarm. You pretty much have to have one for a month or so before you pick up on all the little differences. I have been using one for a couple of years now and its easy to run about 15 mph over and not worry about a ticket. At 15 mph over you still have time to beat a laser. |
