Radar Dectors - Opinons?

[che13]

had a passport which started giving off false readings so I discarded it. I then went with the Valentine on recommendation from my father and my uncle. I know that it is expensive but the arrows are worth it alone. It picks up readings from a very long distance. In my experience it is the best that I have owned. Look up some articles, Car and Driver usually does a comparison every year.

Would a radar detector pick up a radar gun or laser gun if they hit a car near you or infront of you?
Just wondering because this would make it pretty effective, giving you time to slow down before they hit you.

I have one that was like 200, that does K, KA, KU, and laser. Saved me a bunch of times from laser tickets.

Finally got a laser ticket when I drove a different car with no detector

yes it would, but chances are if you're booking it you'll get tagged too visually. but essentially, it's a pretty effective method...i call that lead car the 'tank' who you can shadow more safely than you would be alone and exposed.


on a related note, i have a spare factory radar if anyone is interested. yes it's 80's technology, and yes it's probably better at finding grocery stores than cops, but it's still a pretty cool unit.
