This system is deadly, even a Policeman on foot
can get you for speeding now.
This is a £20 stopwatch, available in two models (one above is
the MK1), the MK 1 shows the speed in the top right corner, the
MK2 shows the speed in the main screen area (where the time is
shown in the MK1)
The officer that allowed me to take the picture told me that,
they started to use the units on estates on foot patrol, but the
motorbike riders also like to use them as well, they can be used
over a shorter distance than VASCAR, and they do not need to be
calibrated as VASCAR does. (VASCAR needs calibrating every 7 days.
Working in exactly the same way as VASCAR, taking
a reading of time over distance and then computing the speed.
Hertfordshire Police use them on the A roads, and
most of the A roads have the special markings set-up for the Robic
system.
