Before I get slapped down I have already trawlled through the search facility.
I presume I am right in thinking that road angel is no good detecting lasers cos once it picks it up u have been caught anyway.
Therefore it is only useful for fixed sites (gatsos/specs etc) and accident blackspots.
Am I correct?

It doesn't have a radar detector, but has a laser detector.

It's of dubious value (IMHO) as by the time you're zapped you're done.

the fixed sites are upto date, it can take them a while to put nw cameras in, a new one went up near me and as a test i updated everyday until it went off, 9 days later. I guess if i would of marked it on mine and updated it might of been updated quicker but i was trying to test the service.

The laser unit is pants. I drove past a laser trip 6 times placing it in different parts of the screen didnt get a single blip. But I suppose the copper could of been asleep in the van and not tagging people ??.
