Radar Detector Shopper

When it comes to used radar detectors is it worth buying a used radar detector, or just getting a new one? I’ve actually found a few places that sell good used ones but by far the easiest to use would be our marketplace. Our marketplace will be open quite soon, and if you want to be notified when it’s open just drop a comment on this thread and I’ll shoot you an e-mail when our used radar detectors marketplace is open.

We won’t spam you either, I promise. You’ll only get e-mails that you want to get. Also coming soon would be our newsletter with a deal of the day or deal of the week, depending on the frequency that you want to be notified. This could be 30% off deals, arranged group buys on detectors and jammers, etc.

Think you’re interested? Once again, leave a comment. If the demand isn’t big enough, we won’t do it. However, leaving a comment does NOT OBLIGATE YOU for our newsletter. I promise!

Let us know!

One thing that I do a lot when I’m driving is I set my own speed limit.

No one can tell you the safest speed to drive based on your driving skill and road conditions better than you. Sometimes it may be 10 over the speed limit (and thats when detectors come in) or it can be 10 below due to rain/snow, etc. You are the only person that can decide what the best speed is for the current conditions.

The real question is - how to drive your own speed limit without getting pulled over …

Always drive with cars around you. If possible, you should keep a car in front of you and a car behind you. This is NOT the end all protection, as a police officer can still pull you over by tagging the other cars - however this is much better than alone. When possible, always leave room in between the car in front of you and the car behind you. Obviously leaving room between you and the car behind you isn’t always up to you, but if you’re able to you should.

Usually I say for every 10 miles per hour you give the person in front of you about 1.5 car lengths. 20 MPH over the speed limit, give them 3 cars MORE than you usually do. This will not only help you safety wise but also will give you time to adjust if they see a cop and brake. Remember, if you don’t have a detector than the best way to protect yourself is to study reading brake lights.

Never doubt your feelings. If you feel like there will be a cop around the corner, don’t take the chance at speeding by. Slow down just in case - it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Always be safe, and always be in the know - have a radar detector! If you need a recommendation for a good radar detector, leave a comment on this post with your e-mail address and/or AIM information and I’ll get back to ya. I don’t mind consulting for free! One less ticket to one of you is another good report for me.
