how well do radar detecters really work, my buddy has one that coast him 50 bucks but i cant imagine it being any good, i have always wanted one to use and i just got a ticket the other day so now i deffenetly want one, what should i go with, i dont have to much money to drop but i need something cuz speeing is a bad habbit for me?

 
i wanted to get one too, but they're illegal in virginia. but i do live on the n.c. border //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

 
yeh but a buddy of mine said they can pick up radar around turns and up to a distance where a cop doesnt even know you are there yet?

 
nowadays the cops actually use laser guns. so by the time your detector goes off, you've already been clocked probly. sometimes you'll get lucky, and be able to detect them on a highway if they're clocking other people.

but you should really look into a radar jammer if you're that worried about it. then they can't get a reading off of you.

but no radar detectors or jammers work 100%. they all have their flaws and not 100% reliable.

best thing to do is just not speed or wreckless driving.

 
well i was playing with the idea of eather a radar dector or a GPS navigation system,

so i guess alot of you would agree more with the navigational system instead of trying to beat the cops?

 
take note of how long it takes you to do your normal routine simply keeping up with the flow of traffic, and then how much time you save by going the extra 10-15mph, and being 'that guy' passing people, switching lanes like your passenger's having a stroke

you probably don't save as much time as you'd think.

i know i used to drive 35 miles each way to work, and driving like a dick compared to simply driving with traffic only saved me ~5 minutes.

I just make a point to leave a few minutes earlier, turn on some tunes, and go with the flow.

You'll save $$$, a lot of stress, and quite possibly your life.

 
there actually quite pointless. by the time the radar detects how fast your going its to late.
I flatly and wholeheartedly disagree with that statement. I use Bel's best dash-mounted detector and if I had half of the money it has saved me since its purchase I would be a rather wealthy individual.

Are $50 radar detectors pointless? Most likely. Are the ones that actually work pointless? Inarguably not.

The use of laser speed detection equipment is not nearly so widespread as most police departments would have you believe due to the prohibitive cost of that equipment and the resulting slam on most local government's budgets when trying to acquire them.

but you should really look into a radar jammer if you're that worried about it. then they can't get a reading off of you.
Test after test after test after test has proven the overwhelming majority of the devices sold as "jammers" simply do not work. If you're going to invest in any type of device to aid you in your "need for speed" then a quality detector is a much better way to go.
