Best Radar Detector?

[Chuckie B]

it's very simple. they pick a stationary object, when you blast by that stationary object, they can count till you hit the next stationary object. With a trained eye, it is not as hard as it sounds. Are they going to pinpoint you like a radar gun? of course not, but they will be in the ballpark.
btw, studies have shown that people that use radar detectors (myself included) tend to be more aware of their environment. You are always waiting for the thing to go off. I have an Escort unit. Use it all the time whether I'm in the minivan or mach1.

+1^...i'm the same way

I have had alot of experience with atleast 5 different detectors...In my opinion against radar NOTHING beats a V1> Laser is alot different...nothing but a jammer can help and they are illegal. Being smart should save you in most situations...if that fails the V1 usually saves the day. All radar detectors are legal in every state except Virginia and D.C.

A bit of advice, when you get pulled over. Shut the car off and keep both hands on the steering wheel. Be polite. Whatever you do, don't ask the officer what you did wrong. Let him ask the questions. This is advice from my police friends.
Remember they are Law Enforcement not your drinking buddy.

Not really the way they do it but They are certified in Visual speed estimate, schooling and hands on work and then testing.
so you could go the speed limit lol, not that much fun or as others are saying be aware of surroundings and dont drive like an ass or... get your own badge, profesional courtesy

Driving a high performance car with no detector is like having unprotected sex.

^^^wow the trooper gave you a great break...i would like to add to my earlier comments that the passport8500x50 is descent as well...that is what i am currently running.....10/10 for radar coverage...very average at laser but its hard to find anything to battle that short of a jammer.

Myself included, I bought one a Cobra with GPS and traffic signal warnings,
Im not trying to use it to speed more, but as a tool to stay aware of my speed, especially below 50 mph, My cars and trucks seems to idle over 35 LOL, Im constantly going over 35 mph without trying to do so.
The Cobra allow me to warn me when I reach over 42 mph or any speed I set it to.
Its a great reminder.
