Radar
Detectors for
Speeders
There
is no doubt that
radar detectors
are an essential tool
that will enable you to
stay constantly ahead of
the radar carrying
police and their
generous serving of
speeding
tickets.
It is however useful for
you to be reminded
upfront, that radar
detectors are highly
illegal in some
states/areas such as
Virginia or Washington
D.C. The fines for folks
caught carrying the
offending gadget can be
fairly hefty running
into hundreds of
dollars. And of you're a
commercial driver, the
fines can be even
higher. Again specifics
really depend on what
State you are in.
Success in being able to
use radar detectors to
avoid speeding tickets
depends on a number of
factors right from your
choice of equipment.
Naturally, the widest
range of detection is
advisable -- nothing
less than Bands X, K and
Ka should be considered
when looking for a radar
detector unit. It is
also useful to have a
detector with the
sensitivity as high as
possible. A minimum of
110 dB is advisable.
Positioning is
Important
You can have a good
detector but still be
very vulnerable to
speeding tickets simply
because of poor
installation. The
position you place your
radar on the front
windscreen is extremely
important. Actually the
higher up the better.
The level of your rear
view mirror is
recommended. This
position will give you
maximum detection range
so that each time an
officer somewhere in the
viscidity activates a
speed radar, you will be
able to comfortably
detect them and take the
necessary action or
precautions.
Those who make a
decision to go for this
sort of equipment
usually find that they
quickly recover their
investment in terms of
speeding ticket fines
and related costs that
they would have
otherwise incurred.
Don't Make this
Mistake...
Sadly there are those
who possess properly
installed radar
detectors but still find
themselves on the wrong
side of the law pretty
often. No, their
equipment is no
defective; they just
forget to switch it on.
Or even worse decide to
switch it off in areas
where they believe that
they are safe and
unlikely to meet an
officer. This kind of
thinking often ends up
in a nasty surprise and
a ticket to go with
it.
Just
remember to keep the
radar detector on
all the time.
