Are radar detectors worth the $$$?

[megamania500]

Back in the day, radar detectors worked great. But now the cops have laser speed guns, instead of radar. Is it even worth it to buy one of these things?

I use a K-40. It has front and rear detectors along with a laser jammer mounted in the front. Seems to work well for me.

I used to read into all that and I just remember the Valentine 1 being a big hit, dont know if it is worth a crap today. If you can find some independent testing companies that would be the place to look for the most unbiased opinions.

They do work but don't rely on them 100%.

Use your eyes as well.

Oh hell yeah. Speed limits are about the dumbest law ever created. They should be replaced with the basic speed law. Increase fines for accidents as the guideline and there will be a lot more happy motorists.
