If you are going to use a detector make sure it is super high quality, or else you will just get yourself a ticket. Also take into account that cops can still give you probable speeding (I have been found guilty twice) and reckless driving.

Never rely on a detector 100%.

"Probable speeding"? What state is that? It's not gonna fly in Oregon.

Commercial drivers in Oregon are prohibited from having a radar detector, nobody else is. It's a free-for-all here in Oregon, but now "photo-radar" is getting really popular.

I have one. It just won`t help you.
I would have a lot of fun with the DA with a "probable" speeding cite.
You hear a new one every day.

EVOC + skid pad = FUN

best way to avoid a ticket is to not speed...period

on top of that...slowing down saves some gas...nice little side benefit there

i used to drive like a maniac...i pushed my old volvo to 115...ive been in a honda accord at 140...my truck i think i mightve gotten to 95...the crown vic i got to 120 then backed off...

I've been pulled over probably 20-25 times...ive had 4 tickets...2 by SCHP...1 Local city cop...one TSP...the local city cop wrote on the ticket itself that a detector was present...judge gave me no help...the 2 with SCHP were without...got both tickets reduced without even having to see the judge...

TSP is a whole nother story that im not getting into...he was wrong...saw out of state plates...figured he'd get an easy ticket...i didnt have time to fight it...he won...

i guess my thing is just...why spend $400 on something that doesnt get you anywhere any faster...when you could save that $400 plus another $400 on gas from slowing down...and then buy something else that you can enjoy safely

Jammers are prohibited bt the FCC for obvious reasons.
You can have my radar detecter. It won`t dectect the new stuff.
I took it out of the Taco to install red and blues.
Once again, I am not a traffic cop.
And have no intenten in developing an interest. I do cite for unsafe lane changes when they come down in front of me. Just the really risky stuff.
I make mistakes too. When I do, I beat myself up more than a cite.
As I don`t know where my cite book is, I would have to call it in.
