Speed cameras just encourage people to slow down when they see the camera, not because they care about driving within the speed limit.
I bet 95% of people speed up again when they pass the camera.
i do
Speed up again afterwards? Perish the thought
Yes many do that with mobile speed cameras too. Most wonder how they have still got a ticket through the post I'm sure. Some drivers are not very bright.
Speed cameras aren’t to stop people from driving fast anyway they’re for making money
0:56 "Police cash machine"
Brilliant
just slight amount of it goes to police...
i guess it is kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online?
@Antonio Bryan Ehh I watch on flixportal. just google after it:D -guillermo
@Guillermo Maison thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!
@Antonio Bryan you are welcome xD
I have learned that here in Germany they paint numbers in black on white, surrounded by a red circle. If you keep the number on your dashboard lower than that, the camera doesn't release.
And if there is a sign with diagonal lines, just accelerate to the highest number on your dashboard.
Skynet L.U.C.K.Y.
Same system here in the uk.
I never realised this is the guy that does Car S.O.S
I’m not worried about fixed cameras. I want to be able to detect hand held laser ones, but they’re illegal in the uk and the penalties are harsh if caught with a jammer.
Exactly you never know where and when they are there
your allowed to detect them your just not allowed to jam the signal. you can jam them then slow down to the limit and turn the jammer off and let them record you doing the limit🤣🤣 if caught ya will get fucked like ya say.
Can't you just use Waze to tell you where's speed cameras are? Except, you should buy the one with spectrum analyzer, which is cool.
2009
uses ur data
@@lelisamohamed4355 Of course it uses your data, that's the whole point of Waze is that it takes information from users to figure out journey times.
I need a car that built from using low radar reflective materials like the one used in F22
matte black car...black as hell, black headlight interiros, usually aftermarket headlights...
driving a white car is the radars best friend...easy to measure the speed.
Tim Shaw I used to listen to him as radio Dj.
So can the device tell if the the speed camera is turned on or not?
The first one is great, I think it detects radar waves
just curious when was this first broadcast
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fifth_Gear_episodes#Series_15_(2009)
indeed, it is the most surprising video and the review is very fair. great job.
What about target blu eye?
The very best in speed trap detection, Snooper 4Zero brings together GPS fixed camera and mobile laser speed gun detection into one brilliant device.
I heard Road Angel Pure much better ?
Useless in America, we don't have speed cameras because in traffic court you need an officer there to testify against you, if you get ticketed by a camera and challenge it in court it will always get thrown out because a camera can't testify against you...
Here in NYC, camera are being installed literally every few block FML
Just use your brain, eyes, mirrors and fast reaction work for me 35 years driving no ticket.
Then u sometimes get unlucky scenarios. I was over taking going into a slower speed area and got caught cuz I couldn't see the van focusing on overtaking
@@bradmace6144 did you youse mirror? I always use mirrors weather turning overtaking or anything like police
@@rajindernijjer No basically the mobile van was ahead of me, sort off hidden Ngl, and I was focused on overtaking fast in a slow car, hence I floored it and as I was focused and vision blocked till I was past, I was caught
@@bradmace6144 did you move your body or head?
The Stig!!
Why do I always see these old ass videos from fifth gear? No new ones?
I just rely on google maps being my wingman
Road angel no different than a tomtom where you can report mobile cameras
or Google maps just tells you for free every known location of fixed cameras and detector vans....
Just use Waze.
Use a laser jammer mate.
illegal.
Yes, they are illegal in the UK
What do you mean by laser jammer. ? Can you tell me more about it?
ainulzero it jams the signal used by a laser speed gun. It shows up an error message on the gun to the user
What about the Snooper?
Why you not on the Telly more often have you changed jobs....
Yeah right
Nice video!
£1500 to avoid a £100 ticket... #worthit
You can avoid tons of tickets, not just one
@@worldlinerai Yeah, by not speeding, that's free.
Life is not as simple as staying below the limit, which I try to do. Unfortunately, the human brain is not perfect and we make mistakes and mistakes cost money, which the cameras/police capitalise on. These devices can be seen as extensions of our available memory and reaction time, helping us actually stay legal and ‘safe’ from being busted due to a temporary moment of unintended error.
Just avoid 15 tickets you break even
Camera detectors are all totally illegal in Australia, so is setting fire to speed cameras.
Communist Australia.
Surely if a device recognises a radar signal the signal has already bounced back to the radar gun and assessed the speed which is too late
Not illegal to sell, not illegal to own, illegal to act on the information it gives you.
Cooking Giblets now.
Or just stick to speed limits and save 1500 simple as that
Ah when speed cameras faced the front of vehicles 🤣 now they face the rear of vehicles
AdamFM face both.
Keanu Copp really
AdamFM Yeah speed vans have cameras out the front and back
That radar unit is not a speed camera.
I want an RWR for my car so I can tell when the police are beaming me.
good)
Hi
i just made a video today about hidden cameras flashing cars nonstop...
It is not hard to combat these speed camera's if you stick to the speed limit.
Or just use your phone for free
Waze job done
none of these are detectors. They are POI systems.
Or just don't speed and then you will save money as you won't pay any speeding fines or have to buy a speed camera detector.

shite

This is stupid, why not just monitor the radar emitted from the cameras like radar detectors do here in the states? Fifteen hundred pounds is a lot for a simple radar detector.
made obsolete by waze
Just use a speed limiter?? (If you have one).
Noice
If you get caught by a speed camera, it's probably because you're driving above the speed limit!

It's reasonable to assume that the presenter hasn't had any family member killed by an idiot going far too fast thinking he/she is on a race track. Cameras focus peoples attention. At the end of the day some drivers don't think that the rules apply to them. If only the public could see what happends when crazy speed and an idiot combine, body parts all over the place like a horror movie. Remember it's a voluntary tax, don't speed and you never pay a penny.
Don't trust anyone who drives a Suzuki with gloves......
Come on, try Waze.
If your on a budget, stick to the limits and save some petrol money, then use your earned extra money to buy a slightly more upmarket one.
Lol
...
Or you could just not go faster than the speed limit and you'll never have to worry about speed cameras again. Granted speed limits in the UK especially are rediculusly and unreasonablely slow.
Double busy though
You get 60mph on roads that are not fit for 30 and 30mph in straight roads with barely a house in sight.
is that Tim Shaw,? he's a knob isn't he, any low budget TV show anf he's on it. Speed Cameras are simple cash machine, easy money and easy work for the Bobbies, sooo much easier than catching criminals, such as theives, muggers, burglars and the rest.
They are unmanned though,have nothing to do with the police and the money goes to the government,the Police don't get a penny from this.The police are still able to go after thieves,muggers and burglars with every resource they have.
If you don't want to give to this 'easy money' scheme,than don't speed.It's not rocket science is it?
'Kit' is the word for poorly educated people who can't use the more accurate words of, 'techology' , 'machinery' or 'equipment''.
Kit, is what footballers wear.
It also rhymes with twit, which is pretty close to twat.... ha!
I got a little secret: if you abide the speed limits, than all of these devices are not needed ever!
Wesley Velroij There’s always one.🙄
@Wesley Velroij That type of logic is far too complicated for the vast majority of people to comprehend.
Yup.. always one 😒
Wow another fucking Einstein!!! Why watch this video or comment if you're only going to be an obnoxious twat?
Yeah, drive like an old man.
1500 sovs for that...just dont speed gov.
Would it be easier just obey the speed limit ? Speed limits are there for reason, they are for road safety.
Darthadios No, many of them are purposely underposted to generate revenue.
Darftidiot ..... Theres always one , Get a life dude
so would you consider 30mph on a highway to be safe??? everyone ignores it and drives about 70-80mph even the police... well until month end... (this when the police department have to fill their speeding ticket quota)
Well, few years ago I was going to work on motorway, there was a motorcycle crashed on guardrail the driver and the bike flew over the guardrail and hit the tree and the driver were killed. There was no speed camera or police to stop him, but clearly something else did.
But if you break the speed limit then you have deserved your ticket, and like I said the cameras are there for reason. And the cameras are always fair places, like you can clearly see them and usually there is a traffic sign to inform you about the cameras. And if you are still enough stupid to break the speed limit and get caught, you really can´t blame cameras or police about that.
and how do you know the motorcyclist was breaking the speed limit??? i also have a story for you... a few years back a motorcyclist was riding on his bike at the speed limit but it was raining, the guy went around a corner, lost control and decapitated himself on a cable (the police car was right behind him).... city streets and on back roads or any roads where people is around i can agree on speed limits BUT on the highway they make no logic....
Or just don't speed, it is not hard.
Andrew Murphy semi
its hard
Abide by the law and you wouldn't need them :)
Whoa, you are a fucking genius sir!!!
