    My experience in France...dont drive over 150km/h and hide your detector like you are trasporting drugs...dont use it.

    I have hard a case that the french cops have pulled someone with a radar detector after they detected him with Spectera...the person was fined 1000euro and even his car was confiscated. The radar detector was crashed on the site.

    I really didnt want to risk my V1 worth 400$ in money worth a lot more for me (saved me thousands of times), getting a fine of more then 400euro and my alfa romeo being confiscated.

    The only thing I can say about France (radar detector wise)....is forget about the french revolution and all the liberties...it is a cop country...not that the USA is better but at least they let you play the game.

    But in fact speed limit of 150km/h (almost 100mph) is not that bad.

    Try seaching the forum to see what frequencies are used in France...

    Well here in France speeds limits are
    Motorway: 130 km/h (Spain, Italy: 120 km/h)
    City: 50 km/h
    Road: 90 km/h

    Also like one said having a RD is well punished here, must be extremely carefully, that is why many here are looking that US factories find finally the full invisibility against Spectre

    Here the max speed is 100... and everybody drives 120. So if we had a 150 limit, would everyone drive 170?!

    Yep France is 130 but + the 20 over police tolarence you get

    130+20=150km/h but dont go over that...many of their radar guns are set to "record" anything over 150km/h!!!...that is what I meant...150

    OOO yeeee Spain 120km/h...

    Depending on where you drive...you can go up to 200km/h and still be Ok.

    ps: My test for the max speed of my car was in Spain 225km/h from 1.9litre diesel Alfa Romeo :wink:

    Well the factory who will provide a complete invisibility to Spectre will have a lot of orders from countries where using a RD is illegal
    Can find easily 15 people interested without making any publicity on that according the final price .....
