MOBILE LASER SPEED VANS, CAN THEY REALLY BE DETECTED OR JAMMED ?
| Me nicked years ago by the dreaded
laser. 5 points £300 and a telling off. |
 |
| And again. This is a bit of motorway
that is 50 MPH so of course it's a perfect hunting ground for Mr Laser Plod. |
 |
| Our local Laser Plod van. |
 |
| Our first test victim. The Road Angel with 'Laser detection' |
 |
| Our second test victim. The Snooper 'Laser detector'. |
 |
| And a 'Laser jammer' seen here
hiding below the number plate. |
 |
| Our Laser. A Police Issue TSS Laser
Plus. We were clocking vehicles on the brow of the hill on that dual carriageway in the photo! That just shows the power of these gadgets. |
 |
| Our operator. Apologies for the dodgy shirt. |

| RESULTS: Snooper: You would be better glueing a potato to your windscreen. Road Angel: Good for the GPS static camera alerts but failed dismally. Target Jammer: Actually jammed the gun in head-on tests from the roadside but could not achieve the same from a motorway bridge with the laser beam off axis. Conclusion: Don't buy a detector, but jammers can actually save you points. |
