I have a road angel mounted under the screen on my bike and it's great, apart from I have to switch off the laser alert function because it goes off every time i open the taps on the bike? I don't understand why lol?
because SVs goes at speed of light :rolleyes:

Road Angel does not make you invincible,so be careful with the tap,remember that Lasers operate at 600mts which is a fair distance so by the time your alert has sounded and you slow down -----TO LATE
All these gadgets are good to a certain degree but NONE are 100%
I am quite happy with the fixed camera set up on my GPS wHich warns you of detection areas also but visual alertness is still my best line of defence

Yeah I know mate, at less than 200m, the beam is less that 10cm in diameter so the chance of it even hitting the RA is slim. However, the RA is also a GPS based blackspot and camera warner, aswell as a digital speedo and a clock, so I like it! May sell soon though and put towards a tomtom rider, we'll see! ;)
I'm curious mainly as to the cause of this though, anyone know?

Probably like a GPS and warns you you are exceeding the speed limit for the road you are on/or 70mph------------------My GPS flashes the speed up in red if above

It doesn't have that feature, I don't have to be above the limit for it to do it.
Hello,
Thank you for your email, the laser may be going off due to the vibrations the unit is getting while being used on the bike.
