My trusty Bell radar detector died on the Route 66. It was rather old and had been serviced / updated several years ago. I was happy with it's performance, but I think it is time to upgrade to some more modern electronics.
Valentine One seems to have an excellent reputation. Is that what I should buy, or do you have a better recommendation ? Attached image(s) |

As was mentioned earlier, our posted limit is 80mph interstates and 70mph on most rural two-lanes. That means 90 mph is the norm with a fair percentage exceeding 100 mph. This in a state where highways twist through mountains, and a very high percentage of drivers are out of state and unfamiliar with the roads, and often with mountain driving in general. Roll over accidents are very common here. We nicknamed the canyon between our house and town, "the land of upside down cars." I've personally witnessed 5 that happened right in front of my eyes where I was lucky not to be caught up in them, and have driven by too many others to count. I love the high speed limits but have come to appreciate the rare HP out ticketing the maniacs.
