Laser Jammers, article in Times 31/08/07

Post by VARSITY » Sat Sep 01, 2007 9:10 am

Was travelled to Durham yesterday on the train and was reading an article about a chap who was banned for "perverting the course of justice". This came about by him jamming the signal from a laser handheld speed detector.

Got a huge fine and banned for 12months, he did have 9 points though to start with.

Beggs the question, who's next as I know at least 1/2 dozen of us have them!

Watch out.

Always been to wary - it's not like you have much of an excuse for having them fitted. That's where the Laser Park Pro comes in - a legitimate parking sensor that happens to be one of the best jammers on the market! Tempting!

I cant justify the expense of it at both ends and wondered how I would argue I needed a parking aid at the front of the car but not at the rear.

how I would argue I needed a parking aid at the front of the car
Because you don't want the underside of your spoiler to scrape over low kerbs?
