I've had a cheapo radar detector before, and I got rid of it because at the time it was in a blazer, and I didn't even speed much. Lately I find myself speeding 10 over the limit or more, just going with the pace of traffic. With my record I can't get another ticket for 2 years. I'm thinking of getting the Escort Passport 8500 X5. It's supposed to be better than the valentine one and you can get it for around $150 off of ebay used, they are around $300 new. Just wanted to get people's opinions on radars. I would trust one for speeding reasonably, but does anybody trust them for speeding beyond 10-20mph over the speed limit? Also, do the radars detect the police only when they shoot their radar gun or just when its on in there car(which is most of the time?)
