- I have a radar detector that is about 2-3yrs old. When new, it was one of the
- best around. Now, I still think it is a very good one. I am originally from
- Ohio and used it on trips back and forth. However, in the past year I have
- gotten 2 speeding tickets while using my radar detector. The reason is
- that NC and recently PA highway patrol have "instant on" radar guns. That
- is their radar guns work like a gun. They have a trigger that turns them
- on and off very quickly. This gives you a fraction of a second to slow
- down if you are speeding. This isn't enough. So, I have stopped using my
- radar detector.
-
- I haven't looked into radar detectors since so I'm not sure if the technology
- has changed to improve radar detectors.
-
- Hope this helps.
