Radar detector
I have a question for you, experts out there :wave2: Cops are EVERYWHERE! I am sick and tired of slowing down. So, I am looking for a good solution to that problem...a good radar detector, that really works and easy to read while you're in motion. Any advice on that will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

it's hard to get a real good one. Cops have a wide variety of ways to get your speed, through different radar bands, laser, and timing. A radar detector isn't good unless the cop shoots it at someone in front of you and the signal "scatters". So if you're the first person in line, you're probably gonna get "shot" at, and there will be no warning until it is too late. Also automatic door openers at stores and stuff set off the detectors, so if you live in a highly populated area, it isn't advisable to have one on, it'll drive you crazy. whenever you go fast, you are taking a risk of getting a ticket.
What I want to know is, how good do those "stealth" things work?

be an alert driver and pay attention.. your best radar detector are the brake lights of the cars ahead of you... this is not foolproof, but ive found to be a much better option than a radar detector, especially on highways where nj state police love to use instant on..

Very true....but if he tags a car ahead of you the detector may just give you enough time to slow down and avoid the ticket.
for the Escort 8500. The Bel RX65 is another excellent unit. Both are now being made by the same company.

i suppose it wouldn't have really. although i'm thinking he had radar on to actually get me. he said he paced me for 7 miles on rt 78. which is untrue. i came up on him. state trooper, SUV, near exit 12. he got off and then got back on the highway on the same exit. i saw him coming up hard on me and knew i was sunk. so i pulled over. 7 miles of pacing me? come on.....
my point was, that had i spent that $ on a detector, i still would have been better off then "donating" to the corrupt union twp court
