  1. ya speed limits r made for a reason its the maximum speed a driver can safly travel on that road

    and if a police pulls u over for speeding and sees u hav a radar detector u will be in even more truble sence they are illegle

    is it a straight away or are there losts of turn??


  2. Try driving under the maximum speed limit instead of trying to cheat the system.

  3. If you decide to purchase a radar detector, don't waste money on a cheap one! As an alternative to buying a cheap radar detector, I would seriously consider just never driving fast. The cheaper the radar detector, the fewer features it has, the fewer radar bands it detects, the less likely it is to detect those bands, the more often you will receive false alerts, and the more visible it is to police radar detector detectors (RDD). If you use a cheap radar detector, you are likely to 1. not receive an alarm when you should, 2. receive false alarms when you shouldn't, and 3. receive a ticket and have the device confiscated (in nearby states where it is illegal).

    If you are concerned about police laser as well as radar, you'll need a laser jammer. The best radar detectors also detect laser, but the laser only has to hit your vehicle for 0.2 seconds to read your speed; not nearly enough time to adjust if your laser alarm alerts. If you want the best of both, radar detection and laser jamming, there are a lot of great integrated radar detector/laser jammer combo systems available. The best is probably the Escort Passport 9500ci, which includes an excellent radar detector plus the new Escort ZR4 Laser Jammer. (See sources for links.) But I assume your budget won't come close to purchasing a laser jammer, and certainly not an integrated radar detector/laser jammer system.

    If you decide to go with the cheapest worthwhile radar detector available, your best options are the Cobra XRS-9730 (around $140) or the Beltronics Vector 940 (around $170.) If you are speeding when your laser alerts, you might as well pull over and wait for the ticket.

  4. try cobra or whistler both good  **** u up there some radars get the wrong speeders unlike the working    the show offs get away give me a good rating please
