Nope the Radar detectors were set off by the Old Radar guns that used a Frequincy sent at the vehicle that the
detectors would pick up.. now they use Lasers. Alot of the older ones don't even work

Lol best to slow down for a while if you're having a string of bad luck with tickets. When I was younger I got tickets all the time. I got 11 in 3 weeks. The state sent me a letter saying I was of blatant disregard to traffic laws. Best advice I csn give is radar detectors help but they do just that detect radars. Not police. If you are going to speed do it with all your attention on the road. But its best not to if you don't want a ticket. Most of the speeding tickets I got I was texting like a dumbass so I never saw them until too late. Its kind of like the best form of birth control. Abstinence. A radar detector is like using a cheap condom, it's not guaranteed.

Lol ill pass im just going to have to start using the cruise control at 45 lol or 30 in the cse of my ticket I just got. The funny thing is the motorcycle cop that got me was mad cool, He pulled me over, saw my surfboard and fishing rod in my passenger and started talking bout fishing and diving(hes a pretty avid diver) I was showing him pics of the lobsters and huge crab I got on mini season, He was telling me a story of a huge lobster that got away, everything was going great lol and then he went to his bike and pulled out 1 of those green pamphlets and I was like fuckkk hes really writing me a ticket, I didn't see it coming. He didn't even give me a break on the speed to lower the ticket. The last HP that gave me a speeding hooked it up and said I was only going 74 in a 65 when I was doing 85.

Lol. Ya that's all it is is a bad string of luck. No joke I Live in Florida anytime it rains which is a lot, I drive my truck like its drift car/off road vehicle. Every corner I hit im sliding around and anytime I see a mud pit or open grass field im going in it. Im like addicted to driving like this now cause its so fun but Ive never got a reckless driving ticket ever. Or speeding for the 2-3 years ive had the truck. Its all been in the past 2 1/2 months ive gotten these

True. But they speed up north allot to. I went to Vintondale PA when I was 16 and its straight mountains and like 20 miles just to get to a gas station. Well I was driving a Honda civic scared cause it was so icy so I was going speed limit or a lil under. I had grandmas fly by me on the road doing like 60 through the mountains when I was doing like 20. I guess since they have to drive so far to anywhere they drive quick

And like I said, Your Detector isn't going to go off untill he pulls the trigger at the vehicle he's clocking,
so yes like hood said.. you may have a chance if there is other vehicles in front of you..

Only partially true.. regular band they use driving can be picked up a great distance away by a good detector. The laser band has to be shot at a vechile from a stationary position. The laser particles shoot into the air after hitting a target and will also be picked up by a good detector. I have a Valentine one and have used it 130k in my stunt travels and never been hit for speeding and we always average 80/85 on trips. Granted a laser shot directly at you won't save you or even give time to react, but my V1 has saved me more times than I can remember, in fact I sent it back 2 months ago for a full upgrade after 7 years. I won't travel with out it

I had a cobra brand one, saved my ass a few times but in my state only State cops (sitting) can use radar.

It was actually pretty annoying. The thing would go off anytime I passed a grocery store or anywhere with an automatic door. My Audi is the only thing I ever speed with on the streets and I usually set it to beep at me when I'm 10mph over the speed limit, for daily driving.
