There are loads of them.
Totally pointless to have them now.

Just get a decent sat nav, Most of them have them built in now.

I've got a sat nav which points out all fixed cameras but the camera vans are getting really sneaky round here so are getting harder to spot.
Why the fuck would I want a CB?

I thought this and got rid of mine about 6 years ago, I almost got caught by a van the other day and can't afford points on my licence for doing 35mph as I drive for a living.

Typical Corsasport answer. I didn't ask for advice on driving so if you have no advice on radar detectors stfu. Did I say I was racing around? Is doing 35 driving like a dick? God knows you must stick to every limit!

Mobile speed cameras allow for 10% +4mph, so would allow 37mph. According to Traffic Cops anyway.

These radar detectors are shit now, by the time its alerted you the pigs have already caught your speed on their gadgets and gizmos.
