My theory is that a driver may feel he can speed more freely – and thus more often – because of a perceived increased level of ‘security’. An increased level of speeding creates more opportunities for tickets. Cheap detectors go off too late to be useful, or false so much they get ignored (but the level of speeding does not diminish). So I speculate one might get more tickets with a cheap detector then if they just maintained their former lower level of speeding. Perhaps I should have clarified my comment.
I’ve used cheapies & good ones. No contest. Valentine One. It tells me how many signals it is picking up, and from what direction. Those features are awesome. But none of them effectively beat laser, no matter what they say. Laser detection is dumb luck – hoping for a light bounce.
But I barely use mine anymore, just long highway trips where the left lane flow is pretty fast – and the kids are not in the car. Plus they are of very little use if you are by yourself on a road – then you have to hope the officer leaves his gun on. Speeding on local roads is always dangerous and FTL.
