radar detectors?

it seems like a good idea, does anyone else use them??? and are they worth the money??? and i’ve heard of people having different types of radars… will they ussually work with all of them… or how does that work?

if you guys could discuss these and give out some tips on which ones to buy, it would be appricated… i’m considering purchasing one to be on the safe side

Escort Passport 8500 X50 is the shiznit

Valentine V1 is a top condenter to the Escort.

yikes, some of them get expensive… i really don’t want to spend more than $150…

do any cops around here use that POP mode detection?

x2 thats what i have also.

When car and driver did a huge right up (like 18 pages) breaing them down by class and price, the Escort beat the Valentine one by like 94.9 to 94.8.

Basis was the Price for the valentine. with the valentine you pay almost 200 dollars more for lighted direction areas and a very marginal increase in width of detection area for one of the bands.

Nope, Not worth it

i really like the arrows…

either way though, i think if you buy either of those you will be extremely happy with the result.

Laser Jammer is good as well

i am going to order one of those phasers to see how they are.

i use the valentine on long trips, saved me about 6 times to charlotte and back

I own a Cobra Radar/Laser Detector 9110

got it for $50

In PA, unless you do extensive driving on the interstates, I just don’t think it’s worth it. Local cops in PA aren’t allowed to use radar.

yes, weaves is right. no cop in pittsburgh will use radar right? on the highways though, that’s where they really shine.

have same in daily u have any problems wit laser other than that no tickets in a year laser was in ohio anyway no points

english son, english

v1…handsdown its saved me many of time on my trips to nj

seriously? :naughty:

the only real places i drive fast are the parkways occasionally, ohio river blvd, and some neville island driving…

soo theres no point for me to get one if i’m just on those roads???

Seriously, who speeds on 65? there are so many cops there it is extremely dangerous. I did, and got nabbed doing 74 in a 45. ended up getting off when the cop didn’t show up at the court date. i never speed there anymore, that’s for sure.

You might want to take it easy on the parkways and the island. I heard that there have been a lot of state boys patrolling Neville Island and I saw an undercover sitting outside the Squirrel Hill Tunnels a few times.
