I bought this Radar Detector to use when travelling from Colorado to Florida. I drove a WS6 and crossed some straight lines. I felt very comfortable using this radar detector. I was worried that it wasn't working when I did not receive any signals all the way into Texas. But when I did get a signal, I was glad because it meant it worked. It told me I got hit by a laser about a mile and a half. The only problem was when I was pulled over in Texas and I did not receive any warnings from the detector. I could not think of a reason why I didn't get alerted. I could see police from a quarter mile away and I'm the only one on the road. The reason why police asked me to pull over was because I was reading the map and did not notice the speed change. However, the police were really friendly and even gave me directions. Overall, this is a very good wireless detector, with a small hiccup when I wasn't alerted that one time. |
Radar detectors are almost useless against laser. Even if it alerts to laser occasionally, it is most likely too late already as the cop has your speed. You need a laser jammer. Several years ago in my state the highway patrols have switched to 95% laser. The local guys still use radar mostly though so you have to run both a detector and jammer for complete protection.
