Why I love Radar Detectors?
My interest in radar products (such as a radar detector or a radar jammer) has started in 1994. There I was, cautiously driving my car at night, well within the speed range, when suddenly, a police man signals me to pull over. “Is there a problem, officer?” I politely asked? Apparently, he was checking cars for speed - and he accused me of going over the speed limit. Regardless of how hard I attempted to persuade him that I didn’t, he wouldn’t let me go. And why would he?
What specificallyirritated me is that I was not going over the speed limit - not at all. I wasn’t even close! It appears that his radar gun was not working properly. I did a significant amount of research on the subject, studied the way radar guns operate, read tons of radar detector reviews, and found out that often there is an error in the speed the radar gun measures. Of course, the vast majority of drivers who receive a speeding ticket simply pay it when in fact they should argue their case in court (which is aware of these problems, but who has the time and patience to do this? I never did either.
Since then I’ve become somewhat of an expert on radar detectors, and in fact, dedicated much of my time to obtaining the best radar detector (in my opinion, the passport 9500ix). Yes, it allows people to speed, but many people will do it anyway. What I consider its main strength is it shields us from being falsely accused of over speeding. Until more accurate radar guns are manufactured, I believe this is our only way of protecting ourselves from getting speeding ticket without over speeding.
