Radar Detector Reviews

[Naich]

Anyone wanna reccomend a good radar detector? My cobra finally died on me last month... and I definately want to upgrade (but I don't really want to spend more than $250ish)

Escort Radar Dectors. They are expensive but there are good. Saved me form many tickets.

I'm thinking about getting that one.

Are they illegal in Canada??? Also, how much warning do they give you before your caught on the piggers gun?

i know you said 250ish but i had to recommend this one.... http://www.valentineone.com it's the best detector ive seen so far my friends dad had one and i loved it, it gave the fewest false alarms i've seen and pretty much all the false alarms were for automatic sliding doors at places like walgreens never on a highway. and it actually tells you where the piggie is, how awesome is that. it retails for 400 but i'm sure you can find it on ebay for less.

Are you sure thats not a provincial law? I know lots of people here have detectors.. mind you the cops sorta ignore alot of laws.

And its mostly laser here now, so you are pretty much hooped detector or no detector.

[King Asoka]

Alberta, BC and New Brunswick are the only provinces that radar detectors are leagal in. otherwise its all illeagal.

[ptrudel]

exactly....and i'm in ontario

[King Asoka]

^i was just clarifying that they are not illegal all accross Canada.

[ptrudel]

ya i know

even tho i am in ontario and it's illegal, it's surprising how many guys that have 'em, and some that get caught are nuts enough to bring it to court and try and say they didn't have one(of course they lose)

[King Asoka]

^LOL. u cant be serious!

[ptrudel]

i am DEAD serious...they're super retarded...i just look at them and try not to break out lauging...but it's near impossible :lol:

[King Asoka]

what do u do for a living, which makes u privy to scenes like that?

[ptrudel]

:blink: what does privy mean?

[King Asoka]

what im trying to say is, what type of job do u have that gives you the ability to see stuff like that.

[ptrudel]

it's just cuz the ppl that are dumb enough to take it to court, are also dumb enough to talk about it in public...i mean...how can u win against 2 cops(cuz they don't drive alone around here)

if that's not what u wanted to know then i dunno :lol:

[King Asoka]

Valentine 1 for sure, enough said.

Its definitely worth the money cause these things always work. And are the best on the market. I wouldn't buy any others.

I have a cheap $60 one from Radio Shack. It works great for me. Some, but not too many false alarms and it has saved my ass a few times. :thumbsup:
