Yeah I'm not that bothered about the laser bit to be honest. Once they have zapped you, thats it basically, they have got you. However I would be after a unit that warns of the sites of these scammera vans.... just so that I'm prepared. To be honest I don't speed, especially not in built up areas, but I can drive to various different cities quite a bit, and that extra pair of eyes could prove useful, especially when you don't know the area.
