IMO.....Using Radar detectors [so a person can speed] makes our highways less safe.

If I were to get one, it wouldn't be so I could deliberately speed. It would be for protection from those bull **** speed traps they set up. I travel a lot and everywhere you go there is a speed drop with minimal marking where it goes from 70 to 55, and some **** cop sitting hidden behind the bushes just waiting for someone to miss the sign.

It's nearly impossible to see every single sign, especially in a place where one shouldn't even be.

How about heading to Houston, when you get over into Tx it goes up to 75 and holds it through the curvy sections, it feels like you're going too fast at times due to the curves. Then, you hit a looooong strait away in the middle if nothing, and the speed has mysteriously dropped down to 65 - tell me why???? To get us folks from the east excited about moving quicker, then stick us when we miss the limit dip?
