Which police radar detector is the most bang for your buck?

Question

I would imagine they all don't work the same or as well, so which is the best quality for price?

Answer 1

The best windshield-mounted radar detector in independent tests by Speed Measurement Labs and 1stRadarDetectors.com is the Beltronics STi Driver. The Bel STi Driver provides the best detection over the greatest distances with the least number of false alerts and 100% invisibility to police radar detector detectors. The Valentine One radar detector comes in a close second, with the following 3 radar detectors rounding out the top 5 radar detectors in the world: Escort Passport 9500i, Escort Passport 8500 X50, and Beltronics Pro RX65. See the source link for a comparison and links to all of these products.

If you are concerned about police laser (LIDAR), your only alternative is a laser jammer. Most radar detectors will detect police laser, but by then it's already too late. 0.2 seconds under the laser and your speed is recorded. A laser jammer detects and jams the laser gun, allowing you time to adjust your speed if necessary. Like radar detectors, laser jammers are also legal in nearly every state. There are a number of laser/radar combo systems, like the Escort Passport 9500ci, which includes the new Escort ZR4 laser jammer.

Answer 2

Radar detectors will jam around an airport. Why don't you just drive the speed limit as some cop cars pace you.

Answer 3

I have a SOLO S2 and have never gotten a ticket while using it.
