[Official] What's the Best Radar Detector?

Dembflyr

I use a Passport 9500i and it's worth it's weight in gold.

I agree with what others have said. You need to know how to interpret the info from the detector. If you just stick it in the window and expect to never get a ticket then it's not for you.

Also, I have found that I actually drive slower now that I use one compared to when I didn't.

I actually do the same thing lol. It's like you are more aware and/or paranoid when its up there in the window. LOL

I have the Escort 9500xi. Aside from catching radar, it also has a database of red light and speed cams. I have been saved from several tickets with the red light cam warning. Great detector. Escort does weekly updates you can load to the database, so it is always up to date.

Waitaminnute, waitaminnute...

So you're saying that in the absence of red light cameras you intentionally run red lights? Mind posting up your commute route? I wanna stay far away, dude.

Depending on how the cams are set up, they can send you a ticket for coming to a dead stop past the white line. Or making a right on red without coming to a complete stop etc.

The big one is stopping past the whit line so you can see to make a right turn.

If they only write tickes for people who blow through red lights, they will probably go broke.

I went through an intersection in a nearby town once on yellow because it was wet/light was short/person on my arse, and SWEAR I saw a flash, so I googled the town and saw that there were red light cameras and a LOT of people complaining about BS tickets like you mentioned above. Since the fine for the ticket is $75 maximum (it cannot increase above this regardless of period of delinquency), and no warrant will be issued, and my DL address is not where I live anymore...I don't give a damn.
