absolutely excellent product overall, fantastic quality. In 1901, the United States’ first speed limit laws were introduced in Connecticut, allowing 12 miles per hour in town and 15 MPH in the country. Ever since then, drivers have been trying to strike a balance between the legal posted speed and the speed at which they can safely travel without getting a ticket. Don’t even try to deny it - I doubt that there is a single person reading this review that maintains the legal speed limit 100% of the time. But that’s okay, I am not about to start casting stones because I am just as guilty. Yes, I have been guilty of speeding on many occasions. Sometimes it just happens, like when I am driving down West Beauregard, a four-lane street here in San Angelo that seems to have as many speed limit changes as it has street signs. But sometimes I’ll do it consciously, like when I am on the interstate and the speed limit is 75 but 80 just "feels" better". Whatever the situation happens to be, the fact of the matter is that if I am caught speeding, then I will more than likely get a ticket. If I get a ticket, and I don’t have the spare time to attend a defensive driving course or the spare money on top of the price of the ticket to pay for a deferred adjudication, then my insurance rate will go up. Since it is unrealistic to think that I will never speed, it is therefore in my best interest not to be caught when doing so. I should probably mention that I have not had a ticket in almost four years (knock on wood!), and before that I hadn’t had a ticket in over ten. While I would like to credit my better than average record on always driving at or under the posted speed limit, the fact of the matter is that I haven’t received a ticket in so long because I am a firm believer in using a good radar detector. In fact, the one ticket that I did receive occurred on the interstate when I had forgotten to plug my detector back in after a pit stop. My detector was sitting useless in the glove-box, while I was driving unprotected. Grrrr… Until now, the only type of radar detectors that I have owned have been those that are considered "portable models" - because they are easily installed and removed from one vehicle to another. The closest I have come to what might be considered an "installed system" has been when a portable radar detector’s power cord was hard wired into my vehicle’s fuse box - with the loose power cord carefully hidden behind the windshield’s trim. This is usually what I will do when there is a particular detector that I use all the time in one vehicle, and it generally works pretty well. The "stealthiest system" I ever had was the 1986 BEL radar detector that fit over my car’s rear view mirror, and which combined a radar detector with its own built-in rear view mirror. This device was a complete piece of junk and it wasn’t long after the return period had passed when I realized that I had been suckered out of my money. In 1988, my brother Mark had a very expensive "hidden" radar detector system installed in his Chevrolet dually pickup truck. I can’t remember what brand it was, but I do remember rolling my eyes at him because it looked like he had inserted some bright and colorful "Knight Rider" contraption into his dashboard! I understood the part about there being a sensor in the front of his truck that was wired through the firewall to the in-cab display, but I was having trouble with theRead full review
