thorne Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've been rocking my passport 8500 for a long time and it's paid for itself so many times over. With Escorts newest model being released very soon I'm planning on finally upgrading and maybe a jammer too. Ls4 I also use waze + a cardock for my galaxy note, I've had this save me a couple times on laser and it's pretty slick about rerouting around major traffic jams. What does everyone else use gear/apps wise? To those who say : "I Don't Speed" don't waste your time replying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I find that not speeding has been 100% effective so far, I suggest it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg1647545532 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I just pay attention and pay the fines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Most times by the time a laser/radar detector goes off its to late (though I don't know much about jammers). I just don't speed and avoid the ticket. When I do speed and get caught, I just pay the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reldusj Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Valentine one radar/laser detector, and I am going to use waze on my drive to Indy this weekend. Got nicked by one of those Fu*&ing OSP airplanes last time I went that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't speed and avoid the ticket. When I do speed and get caught, I just pay the ticket. Laser maybe, radar, not so much. I can't tell you how many times my passport 9500ix has picked up radar on the other side of a hill and given me ample time to slow down.

The Laser Shifter 4 works pretty damn well, a few of my friends have had them and had nothing but good things to say. They may use allot of lidar around here but you'd be surprised how often K/KA still get used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that, I haven't had a radar detector in years because they never worked all that well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 http://www.laser-interceptorusa.com/home.html Do you use this? The features list looks nice especially for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0nk3y Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I run a 9500ix. Longest recorded K band was 6 miles for me. I've gotten longer X band hits and similar Ka band performance. GPS feature is nice, some people say you'll get noise and "canceled out of a real alert" when the GPS is blocking a signal, but I have yet to encounter that and in reality everything that is locked out for me is within city limits where it is hard to speed anyways. I want to look into a ZR4 or LI system. I realize a LI will outperform a ZR4 but I can get a decent deal on a ZR4...so we will have to see. I had escort live...it was too much or a hassle setting up the app and dealing with battery drain loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I got rid of my V1 back in 2008 and have never looked back. I loved it but with Laser so prevalent, it's pretty much useless. Sure radar is still used, especially when OSP is rolling towards you in oncoming traffic but overall, I still feel they are useless. I've had 1 ticket since due to simply not paying attention. Watch traffic, look for them and watch traffic. Also, know how to have fun and speed. I hit triple digits nearly every day and never drive on the highway below 72mph. Usually 72-75mph range when cruising and have yet to be pulled over. Around town you just have to be careful. Still there, I pretty much drive how I want and care less. Works for me.

I've gone the same route. Ditched my Escort detector quite a few years ago because the false alarms outweighed the benefits. Haven't had a ticket since then. I personally feel that not having a radar detector forces me to pay more attention to my surroundings as well. Also, glad to hear I'm not the only MS3 that hits triple digits on the daily commute . One benefit of not having to be at the office until 9 each morning is considerably less traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
