Reply #88: My radar detector usually picks up from three miles away [View All]

[Walt Starr]

Is this a pretty good one in your opinion? I've watched from the first indication until I pass the cop with the radar gun. When stationary, I usually run up on the cop in about three miles. If the cop is coming towards me on the opposite side of the road, I usually see him about a mile and a half down the road.

I know the laser detector sucks because I actually had it go off once and the cop was right in front of me. He had to have painted me with his laser at about the same time I detected him, fortunately I wasn;t speeding at the time.

I also have a feature that lets me know if a cop has a radar detector detector, but I've yet to drive in a state where radar detectors are illegal to test it out.
