If you use a radar blocker you could be prosecuted for trying to pervert the course of justice or an obstruction offence. You'd probably avoid points but you'd likely go somewhere nice with a little room that just has a toilet and end up someone's bi*ch! :scared: :grin: (depending what your into!) :laugh:

....This latest Road Angel Connected is far better than earlier models. And your memory stick thingy isn't going to tell you your accurate speed is it?

But it's good that there is a variety of gizmos out there we can choose from. :happy2:

I have a 'friend' that works for the road camera partnership and there is only 1 thing that will get you off a speeding conviction......... Polish number plates!!! honest to god, he says that they dont pursue these as they always lead to a dead end!!!!

Hi Claire :happy2:

I'm wondering if your Pogo satellite connection problem is due to where you have it positioned in the car. Have you tried various positions? :innocent:

Mine is positioned with maximum open 'view' to the heavens and I don't get such problems.



i have the same problem claire , mine is fitted on the b piller , but as robin suggests it might be worth moving iy . i will try that this weekend

mine is also a b2

I have the actual unit far right of the dash, the GPS in the centre of the dash (this was moved from below the tax disc holder) and the laser detector top far right of the windscreen.  Since moving the GPS it has got slightly better than it was but is still temperamental.  

In the Mk 4 I had the unit and laser detector in the same place as they are now but the GPS was under the tax disc holder and it worked fine, which makes me think it's the car and not the device.  

I also have mine hardwired in for a neater and more convenient install :smiley:

FOR SALE!

What is it and where did you get it from?  For £40 worth keeping for when I have to drive another car.
