i use tomtom on my phone as well. does me ok. only use it when in a strange area just in case. Ok its not 100% but it has got me out of a ticket a few times.

And someone said about the tomtom flagging up cameras when theres not any there, mine does this, but its flagging them up as its a hot spot of the mobile cameras. i have been past a few places i know the police use regular for speed traps, and it picks them up every time if their there or not.

 

and people who moan about speed, come on. you cant say you never creep over the limit. a perfect example here, which would catch anyone with out a camera detector out....

 

on the A303 going towards exeter, theres a bit of single carrageway where it splits into dual up a steep hill for a short time, now the limit is 50mph, and you have been stuck behind a truck thats been doing 30mph as its heavly loaded, heres your chance to over take, you drop it a gear as its a steep hill, you hit over the 50 limit overtaking, and flash flash, your caught, as theres a camera halfway up the hill. now you got your 3 points a nice fine coming your way, or if you got your camera device, your safe.

What a load of drivel, the sooner these devices are banned the better in my opinion. If you're overtaking a lorry, assuming a 40 foot arctic, you're doing 20 mph over it's speed, thats 30' per second, you would therefore pass it in under 2 seconds if you stick to 50mph.

 

Driver education is whats needed.

 

Bring on the flames :lol:

speed camera detectors are banned in france (at least that what i was told by various organisations).

 

like sk said - most speed cameras are clearly visible - and there are warnings when police traffic enforcement are around.

if you drive the length of france on the autoroute, you struggle to see a policeman never mind a camera, jump on the m25 it seems like there every 100yrds B)

[Guest gooner52]

speed camera on the 25

 

what section B) B)

If you really want to get the low down on cameras try looking at the local police force web page. Some now show you where locations are.

Merseyside Police for example not only lists locations of all current fixed cameras but also shows details of were Traffic boys will be doing enforcement and where mobile cameras will be positioned and when. The logic behind this is to promote safer driving and also say "How much warning do you want and you still speed? "

 

M25 speed cameras on gantrys are only on when speed restrictions are in place. Basically they stretch for several junctions either side of Heathrow airport. If travelling towards gantry you can see camera housing sticking up over the top. Not all of them have them by the way.

 

If its road works though then be careful they are all live, as the revenue they bring in is huge!
