Whats the best camera detector out there thanks

[mendiplogs]

I don't live anywhere near a school. I do have two 3 year-old daughters though. how the fudge can you know where all the other carpet-terrorists live?

I've a 17yo dog who's near blind and near deaf. He'll lay just beside the road and wait for a car to come past (quite rare, 1 every hour or so) and then he'll wander out into the road, oblivious to the drivers. When he dies (can't be much longer I reckon) I'll have to train the next dog to do the same and I've not a clue how to as he does it all by himself. So....

 

Don't speed, or else make sure you never drive anywhere near my house please. Or near anyone else's house. Thanks

It's ok, you didn't get my back up, I'm a grumpy bastard all the time.

 

I think you may have missed my point though.How can you be sure there will never be anything unexpected in your path. This is why the speed limits are in place, to give you some time to react in case of emergency. Yes, you may well be fine driving a little faster. You may well be fine driving a lot faster. The point is that you're eating into your safety margin. That safety margin is there to protect others (and you). Would you load a crab all the way upto it's actual breaking point?

The difference between 30 and 33 is greater than most people appreciate, as the amount of damage/injury/force-of-impact increases exponentially with the increasing speed. For example: driving into an object at 60 rather than 30 creates about 7 times as much impact force, not just double.

I have a Garmin and a satellite camera detector in the car - I have them because there are often roads with limited speed signs and it is easy to think you are in a 40 limit and then get done, it is also easy to be doing 10% + 2mph on a 60mph straigh bit of road in the middle of nowhere and then bang - mobile or fixed camera round the corner.

 

Then there are the motorway gantry cameras and the speed over distance cameras.................

 

I prefer to keep my licence clean and my hard earnt in my pocket, I don't condone speeding especially in built up areas, through villages and past schools but in this speed camera laden society, you need all you can get to keep your licence clean!

The problem with modern quiet cars with super efficent brakes is u just dont realise you are doing the speed until things go wrong. I have driven 70,000 miles a year for the last 20 years and have unfortunately had to assist on about 7 or 8 major accidents at road side. I still occasionally have night mares I wont go into details just have to say slow down and take car. Driving at break neck speed rarely save more than a few minutes even on an hr drive and puts your fuel consumption up by 30% especially in these modern over gunned diesels.

Your right about fuel economy - take it easy - 65mpg - thrashing it - 45mpg - right, I am driving one of those "over gunned diesels":thumbup:

Jon I have been done twice, flashed twice, nearly put my friend and 3 kids down a banking, crashed cars and driven too fast many a time. Luckily I never hurt anyone, I live life at a slower pace and I get more done and when you drive the slowest you are always infront

HI steven well said mate im going take it slower on the roads now thanks jon

Nothing wrong with driving over 100 mph on tarmac that why race tracks were built. Most race tracks allow people to pay and play on certain days you get the chance to do some serious damage to your engine without concrete walls and street furniture coming through the windscreen.

I agree that the sat navs keep me right about the correct speed, since I drive so slow I am usually looking out for fresh cuts and woodchips lol
