Not at all, you have to learn how to interpret the signals. For example, a speed trap is ahead of you around a slight curve. There is a car ahead of you a few hundred yards. When that car rounds the curve, and the officer "triggers" his radar, your detector will go off. You allowed the car ahead of you to trigger the cops response. You now slow down as you are aware something is up ahead. The caveat to this is, if you are all alone on the highway, and speeding, you will be the one that he hits with radar when you encounter him. Once you learn how to use a detector, they can save you many a ticket. I don't drive too fast for conditions, but the main interstate that runs through my metro area has a posted speed limit of 60 MPH. At rush hour, you'll get run off the road doing 60. They still set up traps trying to stop people from driving over 60. My detector has saved me quite a few times.
