Do not rely on radar laser detectors 100 percent of time even with these. A lot of people use them and think they work because they don't get pulled over, but it's just luck. Police use instant on radar that gets your speed quick and radar detectors will pick it up too late to slow down. Always use a "rabbit" (follow another speeding car!!) A rabbit sets off instant on traps first so your radar can pick it up.

So, why even use a radar detector? I could do the correct speed 364 days of the year ... but all it takes is one ticket on that 365th day then the 364 days of good driving doesn't matter. So when the radar laser detector goes off, it reminds me to check my speed and get it back down if necessary. Since all I need is a little reminder, I use a cheap radar detector.

If you plan to use your radar detector to reduce the chance of a speeding ticket on the highway, you should understand the environment in which radar guns and radar detectors operate. Hills, trees, low vehicle profiles and traffic are your best friends.

Today, the main source of traffic revenue is moving toward automated red light cameras (rather than police radar guns). If you want to avoid red light camera tickets, consider adding a free red light camera database to your GPS. Save your money.

The best radar laser detector is "no radar detector." Learn to obey the speed limits, so you won't kill an innocent person.
