Can you still get a ticket if you use a radar detector?

A radar detector is a very useful tool to help buy you needed time in many cases.  I have personally been driving with radar detectors for over 15 years and I have never received a speeding ticket.  What has saved me besides having the radar detector is common sense.

In most situations some of the Best Radar Detectors can give you well over a mile notice of an upcoming speed trap but there are other simple ways you can be clocked and your detector will not go off.

1. VASCAR – Police can clock you by aircraft by finding the average time it takes you to get from point A to point B.  There is usually a starting line and an ending line in the road that you will cross so look out for these lines in some areas.  No radar needed here only simple math is needed here.

2.  The most easiest way to get a speeding ticket is from a patrol car pulling up behind you and trailing at the same speed.  If they are driving at 80MPH then so are you if they are in front of you.  No radar needed in this case all they need is their speedometer.

There are other ways such as laser, etc.  My point here is that a radar detector is a very useful tool but you need common sense when driving.  Since the flow of traffic is most cases causes almost everyone to speed take a look at the best radar detectors for 2011-2012 and stay away from junk detectors and keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings when driving.
