Off topic, but just curious... are radar detectors still useful? I thought most police these days either used laser (by the time they hit you with it, it's too late) or we are dealing with fixed camera/radars which are pointed away from you, so would only be detected when you pass. And a lot of the fixed locations are in Waze anyway.

I grew up always having one in the car. Saved my bacon plenty of times back then, but now I live next to Virginia which doesn't allow them anyway. So I'd be taking it down constantly. AND I have a theory that if the police pull you over for anything, and then see you have a detector, you're not getting a warning for whatever they pulled you over for. :fisheye:
Yes. I have been saved from many tickets on the drive to mammoth and back. Maybe 3 tickets per trip! I have watched many cars go sailing by after me hitting the brakes and get a ticket right in front of me.

... It is these little towns that like to have the speed posted at 65mph and then drop it to 35mph 50 yards or so later.
I agree with you on the headache of taking them up and down but in Texas i am not worried about it. Now what I go back to visit the family in Virginia and DC it comes down and locked away.
Good point, thanks. Yes, those small town rapid drops from highway speeds down to 35 are the absolutely worst, and 50% of the time there is a local patrol sitting there just waiting for everyone who gets caught by the un-anticipated drop.
