Nope.

 

[M.C..]

the gps ones are legal its only the the radar detectors (ones that tell u if the cameras are working or not) that they want to ban

 

[J273]

so the road angel 2 is perfectly legal then.

All detectors are fully legal in the UK to own and use.

 

[JAY172]

which is the best one/brand?

Jay I got an Origin B2 for the Cup and I liked it so much that the Noble has one too.

It took about 1 hour to fit in the Clio, and about the same for the Noble.

There is nothing I could think of that the Origin B2 needs that it doesnt already have.

 

[Gee Cup]

How much did the B2 cost am thinking of purchasing one at the moment

I got a RA2, in my 172. I had to put it very low down on the clear windscreen patch for it to work. (Or its £100 to get a sensor in the bumper. Dont know if this is the same with your car.

I found it misses camaras on traffic lights, although you can store these manually. Also when I tried to update it on my computer, it didnt work and somehow deleted windows.

Then after one week it just broke. Im going to change at Halfords now. Hope I dont get flashed.

^^^

no camera detector picks up the traffic light cameras.

Origin or RA2

its basiclly that they rekon you would use the detector to jump red lights with no cameras and for that fact they will not tell you where these are as you should not be jumping red lights.

I can get hold of the RA2s and Origin B2s cheapish.

Both Daz and Cupcake and many others have baught these from me, please ask for details.

They arnt there to let you speed.. they are there to identify accident blackspots.. where you should take more care. Cameras are on some of these blackspots..

These little gadgets tell you if your speeding or not. Most cars even come with them as standard.

They are ever so easy to operate, all you need to do is just glance at them now and then.

 

[Daz]

A Speedo? Maybe you should put ya seatbelt on instead of taking photos of one.
