Many of us have had the feeling of anxiety, having been brought to a halt along the side of a road by some flashing lights and a siren. You were speeding, and it has caught up with you. Speed traps are all over and they can sometimes be difficult to recognize or locate until after you have a ticket in your hand. Radar guns have made it hard to go faster than the law permits, until the production of laser radar detectors.You should be made aware that police officers do not look to kindly on the sight of a radar detector in a vehicle. While they can be very helpful to assisting you in not getting pulled over for speeding, you should avoid getting pulled over for anything else with one installed.Laser radar guns are the most effective method that police now have to catch and penalize speeding citizens. The early forms of radar guns required the officer to remain stationary to get the most accurate reading. With the new laser guns, a beam of light is emitted and can very accurately determine your speed, whether the officer is moving or not.When the vehicle is hit with the light, it relays the information back to the police officer in the form of the difference mathematically. For instance, if a police officer is traveling at 60 MPH and his bounce back indicated 20 MPH, your vehicle is traveling at 80 MPH, and you are most certainly in line for a hefty fine.There are different types of radar guns, and the advancements of the detectors have been able to handle them all. With the laser detectors, the beam shot at the car to register your given speed is reflected back with a new informational beam from the detector. This will not register any actual figures, but rather scramble the results so that they are inconclusive. The detectors main job is to warn you of the potential to be gunned at any given time.There are a lot of different names and companies that make decent detectors for a pretty reasonable price. You have to think of it as an investment. The more you put into it, the more you are likely to evade in essence. Names like Cobra, Beltronics, and Escort all have very good reputations and reviews, but they will likely cost you more than lesser-known brands.Laser radar detectors are a definite aid for anyone in a hurry. If you think of the tickets you won’t be paying, spending a little bit of money to keep yourself in the clear is a wise move.

Both detectors belong to my friend(aka claya91). He was using a bushnell K band radar gun and we did some around-the-bend testing. Not the most scientific testing, and yes I know that running 2 rd’s at once can affect performance so don’t go screaming at me about that. They weren’t that close together so I don’t think it mattered too much. And sorry about the camera shaking and moving, it was just sitting on the back headrest because we didn’t have a camera man
