4) Tir and delsol, what a terrible thing to say. Ugh. Radar waves expand as they get farther away from the gun, meaning you can...duh...DETECT IT before the cop is able to aim that gun at your ass. I usually spot cops on a flat road from 2-3 miles away. They see me 500 feet away.
radar's have a city mode.. which keeps it quiet while the lights and beeps go off do to "waves" bouncing off buildings and what not from who knows what.. when you are far enough away from the cop to not catch yer speed just yet.. all you are getting is the exact same lights and beeps that you (i) get every second i'm in the city.. the more lights the thicker the waves.. and by the time you decide its not just the normal lights and beeps, your hit... if you are alone on the road... anybody that thinks differently has the wrong idea about radar detectors...
