Hello Mudfoot: I liked slowmover's input. But the Radar Detector can help saving one from a speeding ticket "SOMETIMES" not always. Some police use them and some police do not. Some police use a laser system which is better I am told. But I know there also laser detectors, again sometimes helping out.


The Radar Detector were a success due to the fact that its easier to detect the police radar then it is for the police to detect you. The Radar signal has to travel from the radar gun to your car that's a one way radar signal very easy to detect. The returning radar signal has to bounce off the car and come back to the radar gun, not always easy to do, and the radar signal has to now travel to your car, and back to the radar gun making two trips. So once the radar detector sounds off I am doing the speed limit. Many times the radar signal bounces around corners and such giving one a slight advantage.


I am sure it saved my a few times of chatting with the local law.
