Cops can do "instant on" where they leave the gun off until you get right in front of them and then click it on last second. That situation cost me $150 for 50 in a 35.

In Florida they use airplanes on certain roads and time yoo in between markers to register your speed, undetectable. All they do is radio cops sitting ahead and your a sitting duck. This situation cost me $168 for a 92 in a 65.

I got nailed in Maryland by VASCAR, which stands for Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder. Dividing distance by time or somethin, that cop told me christmas came early and reduced the ticket from $270 to $70 for going 92 in a 55.

Up to you to decide if spending $400-$1000 is worth it to merely detect radar, a lot of times it isn't. I rock the cordless Passport, only have to change batteries every 5 weeks or so and the range it good.
sounds like you need to slow down.

Speeding without a radar detector/laser detector is done by allowing the rabbits to get well out in front and then pacing them from a safe distance keeping covering vehicles between you and them. It is aided by driving at speeds safe for conditions, avoiding frequent lane changes, and driving in a competent, courteous, and safe manner. First mouse to the cheese gets the trap.

Do you have one of these units? Do they work?

I'm thinking about buying this one:

I have a new cobra. Works ok, I guess but the range is not what I expected. When it starts beeping, you could already see the cops ahead.
