I need a radar detector

[Frenchy]

due to a nice big fat ticket that I got today (131 in a 90 about the same as 82 in a 55 for you guys) I've decided that I should probably get one, so any reccomendations?

Escort ....passport 9500ix ftw!

^^^^^ what he said!!

or the valentine 1. ive had both, the passport has alot more cool features but the v1 tells you where the radar is coming from... its a toss up for me

[TxStVanWilder]

Ive relied too much on a radar detector in the past, so I just use my eyes, and binoculars while I drive

i thought radar detectors were illegal in Canada.

I use to follow the fastest guy but keep him in brake light distance so when he hits the breaks i know to slow down. Well that failed me when the airplane got both of us. I had the cruise set on 98 The Z28 Florida state troopers got him and me and about 200 other people on the turnpike one thanks giving. That trooper wrote me the fastest ticket ever. He never got out of his car. He had me come to him and got me license and was done in less than a minute. His radio crackled with catch the white suv he is doing 106mph. The trooper gave me the ticket and my license back and peeled out bandit style and was gone.

they are. but these cops that are on the highway up here have gotten insane in the last few months, the highway I was on the limit goes from 90 to 100 sometimes without being posted and naturally since its a 2 laner you have people clipping along pretty good like I was but I got over in the passing lane to let someone merge but I was the only one in that lane for some distance so I stood out like a sore thumb, DING he got me. So I need a radar detector so I know when I can be a courteous driver
