Just heard that you can do it with a Nokia by adding 5 zero's in the closed group setting. Apparently it interferes with the waves and they cant pick u up. True?
there actually are 3rd party apps for symbian 60 3rd phnes and also for wm's that claim to detect radar traps!
but the best way to beat speed traps is this: don't f*cking speed!
okay so ill b the 1 overtaking u in ur donkey car. Bet u neva had a ticket 4 doing 71 in a 60 zone. Thanx anyway!

Where im from some speed restrictions r quite silly. I do alot of long distance driving and some places u gotta do 80 or 100 km/p for 2o mins on an open road with no houses nearby! If speedtraps r good y call them traps?

there's a point! I'm actually not for "hiding" them!!! is the most cynical, money-grabbing approach to road-safety!

There are several ways speed traps work.
1. RADAR
2. Laser
3. Camera+ timing
the first two can be 'sighted', since both work on the principle of sending and recieving waveforms...
Whatever app that is, it'd be able to detect the incoming wave ('that you are under the scanner'), and warn you so that you do the needful at the earliest... IMHO...

I have Wayfinder and TomTom.
Wayfinder is rubbish as a warning system, that's why I bought TomTom which will remind you of static cameras and average speed cameras ihave to drive thousands of miles a year and cannot afford to lose my licence due to a momentary lapse.
The only infallible way to avoid hand helds is behave properly,
I am in the motorsport business and my advice is race on the track NOT the street, in my experience very few street drivers ability's match those of their vehicles (no matter what they think!!!) it was the main reason why my recovery business used to do so well!!!!

With all due respect i think u r missing the argument mr nittro fan. The aim here is not to race in the streets. Its merely to get warned about being suckered by the traffic cops when traveling long distances. Sometimes when traveling it gets kinda hard doing 80 or 100km/h on an open road. Another thing: if the max speed on the road is 120km/h, why build cars that can go faster? Shud'nt all cars locally b maxed at 120? We shud get a tolerance of 20km/h
