Used to be a radar detector would pick up signals from a radar gun in standy-by mode. If they aimed it down the road in your general direction, the detector would go crazy.
Most of the cops in our area now use instant on, seems like you only get a signal if it's aimed at you. That's not a lot of warning. Are the new radar detectors reliable enough to avoid getting caught ? Attached image(s) |

"Do police really pull over 914s for speeding?"
I was once accused of trying to run from the police in my 914. I just had to say "Yeah RIGHT in a 71 1.8L Volkswagen????" Charges dropped...... |

"Do police really pull over 914s for speeding?" I got popped on I-83 southbound into baltimore going 85mph. The officer was sitting in a new spot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I had the top off and music cranked, pulled over and waited for the ticket. All I could think was WOW this little car still has it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
