I have a Snooper S6 Neo and was in the convoy that got nabbed on the way to SM3..........however, I luckily didn't get a ticket. My S6 was running and didn't detect any of the new Autovision sites. Recently written to Snooper on a number of points and asked about the Autovision sites. They said that " they were in the process of updating the database with these". I'll wait and see!.

There's no need for any of these expensive devices, if you just observe the speed limits...

Have fun!

Hi Chris, it wasn't the infallibility of the RA that disappointed me but rather the "couldn't really care - will get round to it later in the year" attitude when the new sites were pointed out.
The unit is expensive and requires ongoing subscription - I would have expected better service.

Slicks, as I'm sure you well know, they bring down the limits wherever they like and don't advertise it just to make cash !! Its a great pity they don't apply the same attitude to real crimes

Which is exactly why you should drive around staring at the speedo, only glancing occasionally through the windscreen to note the speed limit signs and adjust your speed accordingly...
