Get prior warning of accident hotspots on unfamiliar roads, and protect your licence, with a speed camera detector.

Top maker Snooper says its all-new £99 Tigre offers more than the raft of cheaper smartphone apps that have flooded the market –so we found out if it delivers.

The radar device claims to give full coverage of speed traps, including Gatsos and hand-held guns, yet buyers don’t need to pay a monthly subscription.

On our test, it identified the three cameras on our side of the carriageway accurately and loudly. But as it doesn’t have a GPS database, it didn’t pick up a Truvelo unit or the average speed camera section on a motorway.

Chunky buttons make it easy to use, yet the design is bulky, even though it runs off your car’s 12V socket, rather than built-in batteries. Plus, it can be difficult to read the screen, on the rear edge, especially in sunlight

Verdict

Rating: ★★★
What is it?
Dash-top black box which reads the road ahead for cameras and warns you of risky roads.
Problems?
No GPS database, bulky, rear display tricky to use.
Why buy?
Accurate and loud warnings, large buttons, no monthly subscription.
