I wasn't professing to know anything, just making an observation on
the curious logic of buying bicycle components from someone who
encourages vehicle speeding.

Of course, only motor vehicles can speed.

I assume that you didn't write 'vehicle' when you meant to write 'motor
vehicle', as that would be condemning yourself into a transport ghetto.

At which point the assistant would be Wrong. GPS Speed "detectors" are
NOT
illegal to sell, own , fit, or use. Perhaps a piece of A4 paper
laying on
the passenger seat, with a list of speed camera locations printed on
it,
should also be illegal???

And lock up the local paper as well for printing a list of speed camera
locations, and the TCSP for placing the advert..

Personally I'd be a lot happier if these devices were set to remind you
when you were above the speed limit irrespective of the positions of
cameras.

One would think that a continually updated display just a foot or so in
front of
every drivers' eyes, coupled with big bold numbers along the roadside
might do
the trick.

But for some reason it doesn't :-(

The motorists insist that a number on a stick has nothing to do with the
actual safe speed for that stretch of road, so they insist that it is safer
to ignore it and use their own judgement rather than be distracted from
what's going on by being forced to go at a fixed limit (having to keep
checking their speedo). See uk.transport for many discussions of this. What
they fail to appreciate is that speed limits are not set purely for their
benefit.

No, I meant to write 'vehicle' and assumed that this newsgroup would be
attuned to what I was suggesting. Within the context of a discussion about
Halfords selling GPS and radar detectors to people with a 12 v power supply
then we can assume that the vehicles in question did in fact have a motor of
some sort.

By the way, exactly what do you mean by "condemning yourself into a
transport ghetto"? I'm afraid that is a little lost on me.
