They are all useless on the hidden reverse camera set ups they use alot now anyway. Too late once you have gone by and been snapped from the rear. They are still pretty good though at picking up the camera if they are set up facing you but still not a licence to speed though, you still have to have your wits about you and don't be complacent when using one.

Actually they're better than you think. You get reflection off cars in front of you when set up in a rear facing. It's not enough to save you if your driving substantially over the limit. As an example I get reasobnable notice before in traffic at the fixed Como reverse Setup on Kwinana. I'd never rely on it.

In the end, at least you know WHEN you pass one before getting the potential ticket in the mail when a reverse set up.
