| 741965 | 2009-01-25 21:39:00 | - Do they actually work against modern Police equipment? - Are they actually legal? - Does anyone use them? I'm not an habitual speeder, but having one could be handy on long trips!! :D |

| 741966 | 2009-01-25 21:55:00 | ive got one - its about 5 years old and works to this day although these days its a bit 50\50 and some luck as by the time the radar goes off chances are hes got you even before you hit the anchors - a few weeks ago i got pinged from 2.5km away - the radar went nuts but by then he had me other times it gives you heaps of warning and you can take action but i wouldnt trust it completley |

| 741967 | 2009-01-25 22:59:00 | Mine works a treat with the van cameras, but forget it when it comes to the hand held radar gun. Once you have been pinged and are in their sights, it is too late :( |

| 741968 | 2009-01-26 04:38:00 | afaik they are about to make them illegal and i hope they do. save your $$$ buying one and simply don't speed, its much easier. i never slow down for cops, never need to. its much easier way to drive than trying to work out which car is the cop car, which is a camera car etc etc. |

| 741969 | 2009-01-26 08:22:00 | they can go ahead and make em illegal just like the speeding but that will only cause people to put some thinking into where they put the radar - there are under dash kits these days that sort that problem out and you would never see it - also some cars (the new high end Commodore's) apparently have a factory built into the dash Radar detector so mr po po cant do anything about something that came with the car as a factory extra just like the outrageous stripes and 22" Chrome wheels that the twits put on em these days :lol: | MAC_H8ER (5897) | ||
