I was travelling with a friend yesterday in his BMW 330 when I heard a beeping noise from his dashboard. He told me he had just bought a Snooper SD815is radar detector, and it had detected a speed trap, hence the beeping. I have always been a bit suspicious of the claims that manufacturers make on such items, this is because I owned a radar detector in 1997 and the only thing it could detect was traffic light cameras! Anyway, I was curious as to where this speed trap was, and I was totally amazed when we eventually came to 2 coppers hiding behind an unmarked transit van 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD!:o:o:oI could not believe how this little gadget had picked up the speed trap from so far away. It also picks GATSO cameras up from about 100 yards.
It has convinced me that these are a worthwhile purchase as I already have 3 points for speeding (any more and I can expect a 50% rise in my insurance premium:mad:)
The cheapest I have seen on for is £199 including p+p from www.mcs-direct.co.uk which is a massive £100 off the RRP. I am ceratinly going to invest in one of these brilliant gadgets. I dont think £199 to save your license is bad. Have any of you guys got any opinions on them?? I would be interested to hear your views.
ps I know it probably sounds like I work for snooper after heaping so much praise on the thing, but I dont and it really is that good
