Re: Who has a radar detector?

So we now all know that there is radar, there is laser. There is fixed, there are mobile (more than expected especially in die pampa), plus the wonderful boys/girls in blue with or without devices.

I have experience in the last 9 years of all of these variants, and am now on a warning following an incident in Zurich (69KM in a 50 limit ). By the way there is something to think about, I got caught in ZH as said, this was in December then, last week (August) I have a nice letter from my home Kanton (AG) explaining that I have 2 years of being a good boy ahead of me, otherwise uhoh... plus I have to pay another 110- for this letter!

The best option until now is (as already suggested by somebody above)from http://amigo.radar.ch you buy a cheap and nasty looking GPS receiver, which contains a database of all of the fixed and, obviously only the fixed installations that they know about. This is updated monthly for a yearly subscription.

The squawking this thing makes is horrible and can be annoying when on the phone, but it is by far the best option I .

So why was I caught in ZH on a fixed installation??? No battery .

Anyway with the roadworks at the moment coming from AG to ZH there is no real danger of speeding.

Happy driving
Odd that, as most on AG plates drive at about 15KPH when in Zurich.

Doesn't your GPS plug in the fag lighter??
