for example i was doin around 80 in a 55 on a open highway with some people behind me doun the same then i noticed a car pullin onto the side of the road about 1/2 a mile ahead n then into some bushes so i slowed down 2 around 65 while the other cars were passin me. the radar detecotor didnt go off until i came real close and then laser went off like 2 times and the cop pulled out and pulled over one of the other cars
i have a bel that retails for around 300 not sure what model but in real good especially kuz it has the letter display instead of just some lights that tell u what kinda of radar it is
Open open highways like that, most cops will be using lasers which is harder for a radar dectector to pick up. I never drive on open highways but always see cops sitting on sidestreets holdin up their radar guns...
