[sugercoatedcougar]

can anyone help me... i need a radar detector that will almost garentee that i wont get pulled over... anyone know of any good ones that arent gonna cost me an arm and a leg... say under $400

lol, there is no guarantee to any of them. I think your best bet is to either be smarter about driving or get a decent one in the $200 range. The thing is that most cops are using lasers that allow them to pull the trigger and get you before you can even tell they're there. Not much you can do about it.

I suppose you can also try putting GPS on every cop car and have a cool little map of their locations at all times, but that would probably cost you a lot more than $400... though you wouldn't have to worry about a ticket until a new car joins with the force. :rofl: goodluck.

Escort 8500...i like it...has saved me many of times, however you need to know how to read and understand it, so you react properly to the warnings.

Nonetheless, the only way you are going to never get pulled over is if you have the damn bat mobile, or just obey every traffic law and don't speed :)

i know not speeding would probably be my best bet... but ya know... it happens.. and im just curious to see if anyone knows of any good detectors out there...

I believe I just said in my last post... Escort 8500...If not that one, then spend the $400 on a Valentine 1

thank you

the escort is great but for the money might as well spend a little more and get a valentine 1 ... both are good but like it was said before it will not save your ass at all ... if a cop is near and it goes off yes but if he turns it on as you pass or if he is driving behind you and you get nailed you are done. no radar will save you unless he has it on and is away from you ... most cops now don't sit with them on they turn them on as they see you coming closer.
