think about it.... is it worth it? to speed? in my eyes, its not.


One thing.. If I pass a cop and I'm going over 20mph.. I will slow down... Anywho.. that's why you have to make sure your radar detects all radar, laser and safety radar systems. The only way they can clock how fast your going is to aim towards your Plates.. Once that signal is caught by your detector. You will have a few seconds to slow down..

As for your statement that you have to have a car around you for your radar to work. I would have to disagree.. I've been in situations where I'm driving down a highway by myself ( I live in W. Washington on a island) and my detector went off even before the cop was in view.. It's only at low warning ( Ka band warning 1) but as he came over the hill and got closer.. That's when it started flashing and saying warning 9... That's when I slow down..

I'm not saying that you drive like a mad man just because you have a radar detector.. Just drive smartly.. Use commen sense..
