He didn't say anything about the driver in front of you. He said that if you have a radar detector, when the cop shoots you with the gun your radar goes off and you've already been caught. That is correct. But if the cop shoots the car in front of you, your radar goes off and there is enough time for you to slow down.

That is not always true. I have seen and heard of cops pulling over multiple vehicles. Even though it is rare it still happens. I watch traffic in front of me and you can usually tell if there is a cop by watching traffic. Not failsafe but then nothing is really.

I've been gotten a few times like that. Especially with laser, they can hit you 4 or 5 times with it before you realize what's happening.

..and remember.. cops have vg2.. which is radar dectector dectectors...soo if its illegal in ur state and u have one..they can get you for having it
ahh yes but the good thing about the Escort passport 8500 X50 is that if it detects VG2. it will automoatically power it self off. after a few secs it will turn it self back on but in stealth mode. if it still detects it it will turn itself off again. i went through VA once. it was kinds kool.

I have one and it lets me know when Ambulances are coming and if a train is nearby on the tracks as I go over it, and also lets me know if their is a road hazard ahead and it is only $85 at circuit city.
i had one of those. it took me three days to take it back. Damned X band. kept going off at everything.. and it also had the voice warning thing. annoying as hell.

I got hit by laser in nashville once. I was driving almost 85 in a 60 coming into the city and all of a sudden i look down the road and i see two cops standing down the road outside of their vehicle. i look into his hands and what to my wondering eyes did i see. a gun. but no ordinary gun.a lsser. best things cops can use b/c once they have you they got you. i saw this and started dropping gears and changing lanes and dipped behind a tiburon right when he hit the button. my radar went crazy. LAZER!!!LAZER!!!! i started flipping out. b/c i thought they had got me. they jumped in their car and started moving towards us. I was like oh ****. i looked back. blues. crap. the sqad car pulls up behind me i move over he overtakes me and grabs the tibby. i was so ****ing lucky. so they do help a little bit. and then sometimes you really cant help getting caught.

I had an escort, it went off in time for me to realize I was screwed by the motorcycle cop with the gun in his hands

Well, i mean Escort really is the standard. not only do they know what they are doing, b/c theymake radar guns but they also have been making these things for 20 some-odd years. There's a guy who goes to my church who has had his escort for alsmot 9-10yrs. The really gfood things is if you register your product with escort when they get new updates and **** they pay for it to be sent to them and they reprogram it. Bopbby that has happened to me also. but sometimes you're going to be having a bad day. I have a website for you its clled. www.radartest.com it will give you may scenarios and **** where they test the guns all kinds of guns. and will tell you what they think is the best. thats why i ought the one i did.

I dont need one because I dont speed. Well I mean I do like every once in a while but if I get pulled over I pay my ticket and move on.
