I definitely agree with you on this one, however I invested in the 9500ci not to break the law and speed recklessly, but more so as a threat detector... We all have occasionally zipped around town doing 45-50 with even paying attention, in most areas local speed is 35 to 45, so we find ourselves doing 10 over without even realizing it. Installing my system I believe has made me a more cautious driver because I didn't realize how many times it has alerted me to actual police threats and red light cameras. I don't think the majority of people who own radar detectors buy them with the intention of reckless driving. That being said Escort/Bel to ME has offered me the best protection since the late 90's when I used their first concealed system... I have been protected since.

Nothing like that sudden drop from 45 to 35 just around a corner and the man is in his favorite speed trap position................ meanwhile you were doing 50 thinking you were safe at 5 over and bam................ a 15 over the limit ticket............... that's what mine has saved me from, as well as the open stretch of interstate in good weather and I wanted to do 85 in the 70 zone to reach my destination........ I don't consider that reckless in good weather and moderate traffic conditions, YMMV.
