Advice needed! i have received a NOIP

It screams at you and if you have never heard it before, you are checking all the instruments as you think you must have run out of oil or so :D

I have had this since the car was new, and only once I have had a case of interference with some other device...

Lol

I have seen a few about but never known anyone with one

Did the opperator of the other device ask you why he couldn't get a reading?

Operators of said devices do not get any messages at all. A while back I played with one of those devices and it was not easy to get readings anyway. I tested it at vans, trucks, cars etc but got no reading for at least 3 out of 10 or so - a very common occurrence so nothing to worry about.
 
That's reassuring

I see alot of them give out error codes, which im sure is going to be more hassle than its worth

The defender 2 gets good reviews but im unsure of how true alot of the claims are

I've just enquired about the Blinder HP-905. Looks pretty good and offers a genuine parking sensor mode. Not cheap but excellent reviews.

Man maths will go into full effect shortly.

Those blinder things sound the Dogs!

Has anyone got one or can confirm if they really work?
 
Would be good to feel a bit more protected from the less than ethical approaches now employed in dishing out speeding fines. A popular one near me at the moment is using a small conveniently paved area on a flyover section of a dual carriageway looking down a steep bank just before the limit changes from 50 up to 70.

No footpaths, no junctions, no schools, no bus stops, no pedestrian crossings. I've never seen a single accident on this stretch of road. I can't help thinking it is chosen for ease of siting their van (there is a little paved area just behind this view) and maximum hit rate (unless you brake going down this hill gravity gives you +10mph even with your foot off the gas). It's this type of behaviour that makes honest law abiding folk like me lose faith and respect for them. I don't like feeling this way and frankly don't want to but the truth is that they didn't catch the burglars that did my garage and outbuilding or the 2 or 3 scrotes who have done my cars over the years, yet they have caught me speeding several times over the same years and always on dual carriageways with little or no traffic as far as I can remember! Tip top service? :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

I've pinged the mods about publicising a group buy on these. Watch this space...
As you said of the splitter Stuart, please keep me in the loop :)
 
I drove through Dorking yesterday, Police in the central reservation over the brow of a hill trying to sneakily catch people out. If they wanted to slow people down because the area was dangerous or had experienced dangerous driving in the past, they'd be before the brow of the hill (to stop people slamming on their brakes), and not bother wasting time trying to collect another tax.

I think the problem with a large proportion of the laser/radar detectors is the lack of understanding of what's common, how they work, and therefore what the deterrents are actually effective against. I'd say most of the cameras on the roads are the static yellow gatso/truvelo/specs ones, so you can cover those with GPS databases, however you dont really want 9 devices in your car, you want one that does everything!

I've always been tempted to buy a Snooper 3zero (as it's the only one that does radar i think..?), but a Pogo lLus would be nice in Europe. Looks much better too, as its so small.
 
So I have an offer from the supplier and I think it's rather good. Sp3ctre isn't picking up his PM's though, it's still in my outbox.

I don't want to start a group buy on these without a nod from the mods as they are contentious devices and I don't want to inadvertently break a forum rule.

Snooper 3zero is s**t, dont waste yousr time

I ended up turning all the diffrent radar bands off because it would detect everything as you go along the road and continuously beep and show warnings on the screen

You need more than one head on our cars really.

We need the Blinder triple or quad so it protects you from both front and rear approaches of legalised extortion? :rofl:

I thought this was just parking sensors anyway???

So, Jim has approved me doing a group buy post which i'll put up on another thread...

I had my speed awareness course last night...

Despite the minor increase in insurance premium if i took the points - although ironically the fine for speeding is now upped to £100 but the courses are less (no doubt they will increase those inline soon :roll: )

I have to say even though it was 4 hours... it was good.. learn some interesting things (mainly how useless some drivers really are knowing the speed limits)

But i really must read the highway code - apparently we all sign a disclamer when we pass saying we will keep up to date - yet i have seen one in over 12 years :lol:

I actually think it will make me drive slower/ safer - for how long is to be seen.. but this morning i def kept a larger gap to the car in front.. and kept an eye on my speed.

One thing he did say though... 3rd gear for 30 will help minimize speeding.. clearly not in the Z.. as i can rocket all the way to 80mph in 3rd :lol: :lol:
 
I always keep that distance to the car in front (mostly for stone chips but also to avoid having to brake at the same time as the car in front - usually for no reason ...). However, driving to Bournemouth yesterday I was getting fed up that in heavy traffic, every single car cuts right in front of you as you left a gap. So had to drive like the rest of them to avoid that happening .... :(
