Ian's just had latest copy of club magazine with leaflet for above in. He says he gets a lot of them in car mags, has anyone actually bought one or know someone who has, are they any good?

Anyone who doesn't want to post here can PM him, he's rubberknees50.

...and also MAX power .. even "nuffer" said.

Been around for ages (and I mean years), there must be a copy or two on the net by now, have you tried typing it in Kazaa or something?

Normally the police get wise to these things and tie up the loopholes they expose fairly quickly. And seeing as its been around for a few years, the info could well be pretty useless by now.

Sorry to sound so negative, but Im sick of seeing that chuffing advert, claiming to save my license and whatever else.

I got fed up seeing it, these things usually are a waste of time, though I was curious about some stuff, like the "simple test" on police vehicles.

I take the view if you're going to speed (and I have always been a culprit from my biker days) then you know what to expect when/if you get caught.

Thanks everyone, it was worth asking!

i was tempted to buy a copy, scan it, and return it under the 90 day money back guarantee cos ive been searching for a dodgy copy of it for years without luck, ever since it was advertised in Viz

 I know someone who downloaded lots of it, thought that it was dated, and sites like pepipoo have more answers--with ability to ask a particular question.FWIW.
