Why yes. I was hammered and driving at the same time. As always.

Maybe he said that was part of their test I don't remember. He showed me he paces cars also but it's still a guess within a few mphs.

they all work good now a days.. I had one when I was in the military driving back and forth to north Carolina. works when thy are radaring other people. if they just radar you its too late and the detector will go off as they get your speed. so take that as a warning, it will detect the radar, but it might be too late..

Just keep your eyes peeled the range on them things isn't as far as they would you too believe. The dash mounted ones are a little over 1/2 a mile I think maybe 3/4.

I probably really don't need one. I get stopped about once every two years and usually just when I am not paying attention.
When the cops are using lasers on the interstate, do radar detectors pick those up or are lasers undetectable? As you can see, I don't know much about the subject. |

Most jurisdictions will give you 5 mph over the limit (Cameron Parish 65 mph is good to go) so after that your driving on prayers. Used to never leave home without a RD on the dash but as I matured it dawned on me how much money I had spent on speeding tickets (thousands). It's also easier to get a ticket fixed without a RD on the dash because they always note on ticket if they busted you while using one. |

Got stopped expecting a 3 mph over ticket instead got a no seatbelt. Had to unbuckle it to get out of the truck? Ended up paying it cause it was only $25 but it did leave a sour taste in my mouth for state troopers. All else fails write a no seatbelt ticket your word against theirs.

Got a ticket reduced from careless ops to 73 in a 70(yes, 3mph is why he cited me with careless ops!). I thought it was a good deal until they read the fees. It's $2 per mph over so, $6 right?...WRONG! By the time I paid that and, court fees, it was $115!! I nearly went to jail after hearing that number!
Oh yeah, it was a state trooper who issued the citation to me at 5:30am on a Sunday morning while I was headed into work! Even before this moment, I have had no use for a trooper! |
Fin I need you to pull me over and dot my truck!!! I get extra cash for clean roadside inspections!!!!

However, no detector will save you if the Po Po is triggering his radar and you're the only car/truck around. That said, my Val 1 has more than paid for itself many times over |

i put 40-60k miles a year on the road and have had a detector for 5 years. 1 ticket because i wasn't paying attention and had my unit on silent. i rarely drive the speed limit on highways and the interstate. no telling how much money in tickets it has saved me. yeah they only work when traffic in front of you is getting shot but whens the last time you were driving and didnt have someone in front of you? a good detector will pick up 8-10 miles ahead. escorts new redline claims 14. valentine will read 10 miles. if you are driving a lot its worth to have one. if you want one get a good one expect to spend 400-600 bucks.
