Certainly the best for Radar and as for Laser, as has been said if you can pick up a bit of "scatter" you might get lucky.

 

I don't think Valentine will honour the warranty if you import direct though.

I recently got rid of my snooper s6-r and laser detector - I have ordered a TOM TOM go and put some money towards.It was a money thing really if I have enough cash I would have had both. Im going to download the speed camera DB for the tom tom which should work out better as Im on a budget

 

Yes the laser bit is a little useless as it will only tell you when you have been caught but equally it has saved my butt from 'laser scatter' on one occasion since having it, I slowed down after it making an alert and only noticed a Five O afterwards.I was in a string of traffic at the time though,if I was at the front Im sure I would have needed a diffuser

I've had one "scatter" escape as well.

 

Lucky enough we don't get much laser up here, the local plod preferring to invest in millions of gatso's instead and the mobile traps are usually the radar hairdryers my Valentine gives me at least half a mile warning on :thumbs:

 

I have got a Road Pilot as well though for when I venture through cambridgeshire and oop north towards nottingham where I see more specs and truvello.

 

Not saying the essex plod love to raise cash or anything but I have to through two sets of roadworks each day and in total I have to checkout 24 gatso's - Valentine is on fire by the end and I have to mute the annoying cow in the Road Pilot :(
