hi…none of them…being an ex employee of a major company that makes speed cameras, detectors, speed guns etc., i have found that once made and issued to the authorities(UK)…then those authorities, majority of them, either forget or don’t ever get them re-calibrated for further accurate usage…and those that do, do not have them calibrated correctly.
when a re-calibration is done, then the police only ever recheck them on average 4-6 times(speed checks using a calibrated police car)…and this is actually ‘illegal’…this because the UK Home Office lays down that a calibration or re-calibration ‘must’ be carried out a ‘minimum’ of 100 times…so therefore each and every speed detector being used within the UK if over one year old is ‘Totally illegal!!!!!’.
All they are for is ‘fund generation’ for the police and councils!!!!!

woah there, a little over-reaction from the last guy!!! haha!
Anyway, this may suprise the last guy but yes they make speed camera radars.
Check this out on the Road Angel range. They detect upcoming cameras and tell you waht speed you need to be going:http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/ed…
