Question:
I am thinking of buying one of those radar detaectors for my car to avoid being caught speeding. The ones I am looking at cost around 30 pounds. Are they all reliable, and will they detect all speed checks?
Answers:
why do some 18 wheelers have green lights on the side?
You would be much better off with a GPS detector... the price will be a lot more, but to be honest, the radar detectors are not worth the money.is taking a 2 year ase approved automotive tech program a waste of time and money?
To Alan j UK, you sir are a twit
Many speed traps are simply revenue raising devices. It is not 'cheating' to be aware of speed traps, it is good sense and sometimes neccesary, as the speed limits dont always relate to the actual condition/location of the road.
- case in point - the A12 extension between leytonstone and stratford. Several Speed cameras were in place before the road was even opened to traffic and the limit is variable along this stretch of road (some 40 MPH, some 50MPH) without any apparent regard to road location, conditions, etc.
anyone who drives more than a few dozen miles a year and says that they have never broken the speed limit is a liar
is driving a car your first time easy or hard especially in new york?
Surely it's much easier and cheaper not to speed.go for a well known brand ie Snooper.Yes they do work, and if you get court by a hand held radar detector dont worry its not admissible in court!Happy motoring ebjoy your points free license!
how do you know what year a car was made by looking at the No.s?
They work, but in some places they're illegal. They have radar detector detectors too...for the cops. Different kinds detect different bands, there areX-BAND

Yes they do but there are many different types on the market. I would suggest that the one you are looking at may not pick up all the types of speed cameras and guns etc. The cheaper ones only tend to pick up on the fixed cameras. There are devices on the market that will pick up every radar, gun and camera on the road. Have a shop around.I Remember a bit back one particular company was so confident in its product that it would pay the speeding ticket for you if you got one. Cant argue with that. Sorry cant remember what they were called though.
Is there a cheap and safe way to get a car delivered 170 miles?
You shouldnt be speeding !Hope you buy one and get caught speeding and they find that in your car and you get an extra charge for having it !
Low Life !
Yes and look into the Valentine One, they are expensive but they even tell you from where the radar is coming from(in front, left, right, or coming up behind you)
Not sure they are legal, but yes, they do work.
The purpose of keeping your speed down is to save lives ,
what you are doing is trying to cheat the system
sorry too many people like you about these days.
I hope you get caught ,you make me furious..
Radar detector are not Worth the money you pay for them because you have all ready been clocked before they work these days.
the technology these days with police radar is such that they will clock you before your detector tells you they are there so as the other person told you, it cheaper not to speed.
anyway whats the hurry, you going to a funeral or something?
it may be your own!
Do you think the new Holden Commodore is ugly?
these things do have a little catch-22 in that they do detect radar however the speed your traveling pops up on the cops gun the same moment that your radar detector goes off most people fail to realize that so it wont prevent your ticket. plus its illegal in some provinces. and oh yeah some departments dont even use radar they use l.i.d.a.r which is infared lasers. so these things are just a total waste of moneyhow much should you pay a taxi?
YES . . . BUT, You get what you pay for. I bought a SNOOPY for £120 18 months ago and it has proved to me that a signal was being given in a spot at Kilsby (Nthants). I couldn't see a camera and it was only when I got the speeding ticket from Northants Police which showed a white mobile van in position. I returned to that spot and that signal was again given by my detector but there was no mobile van? NOTE THIS:- I think the Detectors are OK but I wouldn't risk my lot with a £30 one. Again the Detector only warns YOU but it is yr foot on the pedal. YOU must get a detector WHICH ALSO shows you what the Limit is as well. Now if you think you can drive fast anywhere you like then you will not be saved by a detector. Your Insurance will go up each time! if you don't tell them yr insurance is invalid. SO, always drive sensibly and the detector may save you from a mental lapse. OK . . . Drive Carefully!What are the chances of cars being eliminated in cities?
yes they warn you when you are approaching detectors and speed trapsMore Questions & Answers ...
