I used a $500 Radar Detector for 240 days

[@Part-TimePro]

To anyone with an android, Highway Radar is on par with radar detectors for ticket avoidance. It'll show you where there have been reports in the past and give you a likelyhood of there being a cop. Also it has plane/helicopter alerts if you're paranoid about them. Biggest gripe is that there is no android auto integration and that it's not available on iOS but I'd really recommend it to anyone trying to avoid tickets with an Android.

[@sriavula]

it has to be paired with a detector though right? I’ve heard about it before sadly I don’t have android 😢

[@Part-TimePro]

@@sriavula You can, the nice thing is it'll auto report any radar pickups but you can run it without.

i got an r3, I kinda wish I had arrows, but not worth $200 for me personally. Today I was driving to get food, and I flashed my brights at several people because my radar detector was screaming at me, but turns out 2 lazy cops were sitting in the parking lot doing nothing (no line of sight of any public roadway so it wasn't a speed trap) my friend told me (he works at the dairy queen in the same complex) that more often then not cops are sitting there doing nothing

[@sriavula]

@@ReidsAviation yea it’s kinda embarrassing when you warn people of a nonexistent cop, makes u feel bad but at least you tried that’s what matters, you never harm anyone by telling them to slow down for a couple seconds, but yea for me I think the arrows are worth the extra 200, just knowing what direction the signal is coming from helps a ton in pinpointing the cop quicker, I got pulled back in june, the detector got him way more than advance, but I was being a child and got pulled even knowing the cop was behind me, but live and learn 😂

[@ReidsAviation]

@@sriavula yea lol, I don’t even really need a detector at all but the police in my area (wake forest NC) are known for being complete assholes and writing tickets whenever they get the chance so I don’t want to take chances but I live in the neighboring city of Raleigh and the cops there are great and super chill I blew past one racing a Tesla in my sr5 4runner (I got smoked) going 95 in a 45 this past 4th of July and I didn’t get pulled over but that’s when I pulled the trigger on getting a detector

what is ka detections and when is ka used?

[@sriavula]

@@hydra475 ka is frequency used by police radar, they also use K and rarely X band depending on where you live, laser is different, its used via a laser gun, but you have to be stationary. Ka is used when the police has their radar on, can be used while they’re moving or stationary, the radar detector picks up that frequency and alerts you

[@hydra475]

@@sriavula what about laser does the Uniden R8 detect laser im time so you can slow down?

[@sriavula]

@@hydra475 no radar detector can reliably detect laser tbh, they might claim it, but it’s incredibly hard to play offense for laser, you might pick up scatter (laser waves bouncing off cars)but that won’t be everytime, for laser your cheapest option would be Waze, but for laser you have to play defense, you can get laser jammers, which prevent the laser beam from getting a reading, and then they slow down and turn off the jammers so the cop can get a reading once you slow down to speed limit, however those are expensive and you have to probably get them stealth installed by someone else, cause those are like 50/50 for being legal, laser is so much harder to detect because it’s one specific beam that targets one car at a time, unlike radar which just shoots out multiple waves, but even with radar there’s stuff like instant on and pop radar, where the cop turns it on when they see a car and back off immediately

[@hydra475]

@@sriavula Does Laser Jammers detect and defend against laser guns, or only defend. Cus if they defend but dont noticy me i dont know to turn them off, and also dont know to slow down. They work and defend me but the cop will set after me, so please tell me they noticy me cus then its smart. Defend and noticy, slows down, turn them off = Suiiiii

[@sriavula]

@@hydra475 yea so they alert you, the second you get hit, you slam on the brakes, turn them off and proceed driving speed limit, on the cops ends it will show them an error code till you turn them off, which is why you have to turn them off once u slow down. But that’s why Waze is really good it tells you way ahead of time, but again it’s not fully reliable, because someone has to report it, and if your the first one to see the cop, then it’s wraps.. 😂

​@@sriavulafair. I have a fast car that I like to take full advantage of sometimes (who am I kidding, it's every time I drive it lol) so I figured having the best performing detector on the market was worth it if it meant potentially saving me from criminal charges.

[@deplorabledave1048]

I spent over an hour VERY CAREFULLY programming my R7 for the specific areas that I drive (Florida). If I ever go out of state I would change some programming. But as a result, for the first time in my life, I own a Radar Detector that gives ZERO FALSE ALERTS. That feature is worth its weight in gold. But you MUST program it carefully. I have X band and K band 100% disabled. No cops where I in Palm, Broward or Dade use those bands for speed traps. I even have ONLY the Ka frequencies enabled that are used in Florida. After nearly three years my R7 has alerted EVERY threat. IDK why, but laser is hardly used anymore in my areas which is a good thing since I don't own LASER SHIFTERS. The range is insane. I track down signals if I have time. Many times I was convinced they were false alerts. But after 1.5 MILES of urban driving I would find the stationary motorcycle cop speed gun. Amazing, the R7. The new Radar controlled cruise controls KILLED the viability of my old $400 Passport Escort. It was USELESS because of constant false alerts that could not be filtered out by the older tech of that detector. It is such a joy to have a reliable, NO false alerts radar detector. There is a YT video by the same guy on how to program the R7 too. But go HERE first: www.vortexradar.com/2019/04/how-to-set-up-configure-uniden-r7-radar-detector/

Can someone explain to me how radar detectors help you avoid tickets? The way I understand it is that a cop can instantly get a readout of your speed as soon as your radar detector can alert you, so how would you get out of a traffic ticket if you're not able to slow down in time? Maybe I'm missing something here.

[@Part-TimePro]

Radar waves bounce around the surrounding area. So say they checked the speed of a car 2 miles ahead, good radar detectors can catch the stray radar waves and alert you. There are of course police which only check speed for cars really hauling ass so in that case you're probably not going to get alerted but it will usually work up to a couple miles as long as the area around is flat and has trees or buildings around the road.

[@sriavula]

Hey Rob, I think your confusing that with laser, radar detectors aren’t really reliable against laser, laser is when cops see stationary and point the laser🔫 at you, radar is easily detectable and radar detectors can detect radar miles away if conditions are right, but majority of time it’ll give you a minimum of 5-7 seconds to slow down, if u check 10:50 u can see 2 examples of how it works, hope this helps, I would pair a radar detector with waze to help against lase, but ultimately if u want fool proof protection against laser I would get laser jammers but they can be expensive

[@79adventures]

​@@sriavula laser jamming can land you penalties ranging with a petty $50 to a class 2 or 3 misdemeanor, before thinking about purchasing laser jamming equipment and using them on road trips/runs. It's best to do your DD coz when you get caught you run the hassle of getting an atty and paying for those fees. there are 11 states that make laser jamming super illegal and then it's legal for all the rest of 'em

[@sriavula]

@@79adventures that’s a good point I forgot to mention that, if your running lazer jammers make sure it’s a good stealth setup, and as soon as you get hit with laser u slam on the brakes get to speed limit and turn off the jammers so the cop can get a reading, but yea it’s not legal in every state so be careful, a buddy of mine has run the r7 in Virginia for 9 months no issues so just be smart
