Basic Facts About Radar Detectors Revealed
Are you tired of getting speeding tickets on a regular basis and think about getting a cobra radar detector. Before you do that read a bit more about the best radar detectors and how they really work, the technology has really changed.
Basically a radar detector is a device which allows you to find out if the vehicle in which the radar detector is installed is being tracked with the radio waves which are being pointed at it from a radar gun, which is the device most police forces use to track vehicle speed. The way a radar gun works is a radio signal is sent from the policeman’s radar gun towards your vehicle, and the signals bounce off and back to the radar gun at a certain speed. If your car isn’t moving at all, the radio signals come back at essentially the same speed. If you are moving they come back at a faster rate, and this can be measured to gauge exactly how fast you are traveling. Simple physics, but pretty accurate in most cases.
So what factors would be important when selecting a radar detector? Well first of all not all are built the same. Some are more accurate, some are more portable, and some are cordless for quick removal. The corded models are a bit bulkier, but also afford a bit more advance warning since they have a longer range than the cordless variety. Either way, when you are encountered by a radar gun that is tracking your car, you will either get an audible “beep” or a visual light signal that lets you know about it so you can take action and slow down. The problem is, often by the time you get the signal it may already be too late. Observation of the cars around you can help, so a radar detector is only a tool in the drivers toolbox, not the perfect weapon against traffic tickets.
There is another type of radar signal that most basic radar detector cheapest aren’t even able to read, and that is laser signals. Yes, the newer guns that police use are actually using something called LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection And Ranging, to gauge a cars speed. These guns cannot be detected by standard radar detectors, so you may need to get what’s called a “jammer” to fully protect yourself. These are illegal in most states though, so if you’re caught using one be ready for a hefty fine.
Another thing to consider is that even a standard radar detector won’t smell out the police radar if their radar gun is not currently on active status. The newer LIDAR guns are “instant on” devices, so you can be cruising down the highway and suddenly get a hit from your radar detector, only a few hundred feet from a standing police officer with gun in hand. So really, even if you have a radar detector it’s best to keep your speed down and not rely on it too heavily. It may save you a ticket or two, but if you disregard speeding laws sooner or later you may have to pay.
