Does anyone here own a radar/laser detector

does anyone here own a radar/laser detector

tell us your story Veeky Forums. i want one.

i have a 9500ix andgot 2 tickets within a year when i used it..havent used it in about a year and ticket free

i found myself not being smart on the road and relying on the detector instead of my eyes

don't waste your moneys

I bought a cobra.
Never buy a cobra.

Not a detector, but I use Waze app to see reported shit

works good for road trips when you're sticking to 5-10 over

waze doesnt work for me. it never shows me any speed traps or any information other than construction

what kind of area are you in? usually in the city it's accurate. the further out I get the less reports there are. especially if you're off a major highway.

I have one, yes.

Pretty good in California because cops don't really try and just leave their radar on, so you know theyre there from miles away.

Most notable was going into work on the 4th of July, around 6pm
I was causing at 108ish mph because the highway finally opened up a bit. Some BMW took a shine onto it and was cruzing along with me, I picked up a cop just after the bridge that was my turnoff, I got off, he kept going.

Rest in piece.

>germans get to go as fast as they want
>americans will always be cucked to 70mph

soz whats the point in performance when you have to go cuck speeds

Because our country is the size of your continent and has an exponentially higher rate of retardation, Hans

"She" looks like a fucking dude.

not really. i think you are just watching too much trap porn, faggot.

>one specific road that's usually clogged by traffic is the whole country
>yuros can't ever afford any fun cars, the insurance to pay for them or the gas to fuel them

>implying we obey the speech limits

You eurocucks have to make laws to allow fun don't you?

Feels good being superior, we just do what we want.

>Do what we want
Until you end up in prison like the other 30% of your population

>Buy Cobra XRS9570
>Saves me from first ticket next day
I stopped keeping track of how many tickets its saved me from after 15, and that was only after 5 months. I've had it for over 2 years now and it's starting to get funky (it's been in an accident with me and I was hit at 0 by a truck going 50) and picks up signals at seemingly random (most just he K channel, and all cops here use the KA for their radars)


Tl;dr get one, but spend at least $100 so it's not total shit

>Germans made the 400hp car I enjoy
>Germans themselves could never own or drive it

???

First, if you buy a cobra you're an asshole for giving everyone else false alerts. Second, radar detectors are getting less useful by the day as normies buy cars with radar cruise control and radar blind spot monitors because those give false alerts too. If you're willing to listen to the annoying beeping to avoid tickets then follow pic related.

What caught you? Lasers? Iv been using mine for 2 years and haven't gotten a ticket. I usually go +20 over but I don't drive aggressively.

I have an escort 9500ix. Had it mounted in my previous car for years, just barely got to putting it in my current ride.
>1 ticket
>hard freeway on ramp pull in front of chp
I do drive aggressively, but mainly just in the fast lane. I like it because it keeps me in check anytime it goes off. False alarms are welcomed as I always slow down anytime it goes off just to be safe. If it saves you from 1 ticket, it practically pays for itself. Got car up to 140 on the way home, detector quite as shit. Did want to go more but shut it down between 4-5.

>Creating a path of glory in the left lane because vision for miles, cars ahead of you in other lanes that cops can look at which will signal your alarm
>Some jackhole decides to get 5ft from your bumper and follow you because he thinks you're safe to follow
>Radar detector goes off, hard alert which means its close somewhere (or even a false alarm)
>Cant hit your brakes too hard because fucking faggot in the bmw is too close

I really hate niggers who tailgate me when I am speeding and then when you switch lanes because you think they are crazier than you and want to go faster they back off or switch lanes with you

FUCK
OFF

I used to have some laser interceptors, they actually worked pretty well even though they stopped supporting updates for it back in 2014. Granted the police in this area have older lasers so it didn't matter I was still covered. I'm usually pretty aware when I'm driving and always looking out for cops anyways, and I've had them go off from being lasered a few times. If I ever save up enough money I'll probably get a set of anti laser priority jammers for my truck, they like 700$ but will be worth it cause they get updates pretty often and they can jam the random pulse variable guns which is the new guns they got.

Oh forgot to mention, some radar. Detectors work pretty well, but I find them pointless, I feel like most cops use lasers because they can shoot from. Farther distances. Also to help prevent laser return back to the gun get some veil g5 anti laser coating, once my truck gets out of the shop I'll be throwing some on it.

No let me borrow your radar senpai
