It may have a mirror setting somewhere.

As I said it flips the screen back to front, the intention being that the reflection on the windscreen is correct.

Ever tried getting a phone to stay put on a dash top? :blackeye

And it also doesn't work with the angle of the Cerb 'screen. :cheers

You can get anti slip mats for the dash I think. Prob won't sustain TVR G-forces tho

I wonder how much that is in lost revenue?

Has anyone has a speeding ticket, or know anyone that has, since the average speed went up? I thought it would be linked to the type of vehicle and I see plenty of vans that must be well over their limit. Is it even working or just fake cameras?

There are some comments in the BBC HYS about this.
A few people saying they've ignored the speed limit and not had a ticket.

Any volunteers to try it?

Or does anybody know of anyone that's been done by av speed cameras anywhere in the country? I don't.

Supposedly setting the cruise control at 79 doesn't get you a ticket. I don't know anyone who's tried a higher number than that

DigiHUD is Android only so just downloaded Speedometer for IOS.

Gets all 5* star reviews, just the free version for now to try it out, but will probably upgrade to the Pro Version at £3.99.

Used to set it at 75 GPS speed which shows around 80 on the speedo but obviously varies between cars. Never been an issue.

I always set my cruise for 45mph through the 40mph average cameras at the forth bridge and never had an issue.

I wasn’t the fastest one on the road either....
