The problem over here is that the police are a little more clever, and use
such things as video and Vascar equipment to hall in speeders. However you
are usually safe upto about 10mph over the limit (thats 80mph on a
motorway). 

I suppose there is a bit of a cat and mouse game, but the cat has the
advantage of non radar detection devices in unmarked cars, so you take your
chance. I do not think we have enough of them to think seriously of counter
measures.
