Detectors still useful?

[tamarillo]

Driver perspective: Radar detector is hope of warning.

Cop perspective: Radar detector means no warning.

What warning? Not round here mate...

... The unmarked cops don't really worry me as I assume that EVERY car I see is a cop car until proven otherwise. The moral of the story is don't speed if you see any other vehicles around, unless you're close enough to see that it's not a cop car. They don't all drive Commodores anymore. ....

Right on.
Add a good detector and you`re good to go, and maybe one of those jammer units if you can afford them.
Anything to keep the odds in your favour.

Or you could just NOT speed at all, ever, and, and...yawn...zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

6 years of driving, 3 years of riding and I have never received an infringement notice for exceeding any speed limits. I only got a radar detector this year, and I don't exactly nanna it all the time.

Thats only luck, sooner or later it will run out

Dead right, he's only done six years, took me sixteen years to get my first speeding ticket.

You must ride real slow, either that or you're only sixteen. (Did you give the ticket to yourself?)

Hang on...........not as dumb as some. That's what you said. So, going by what you said you could, by definition, be dumber than others, depending on how dumb some others are. Conversely; being as dumb as some are, and some are extremely dumb, then being dumb may not be as dumb as those who are dumb might think being dumb really is. So; if we were to dumb-down the dumb-arses, or even up our arses to those arses who have been down-arsed, then our arses would be downed, which is a good thing to those who value having their arse down in preference to being arse up when those who like arses are looking up arses that are arse up.

Looking at detector BUT some stuff suggests that NOTHING detects latest method they have of leaving camera on HOLD and then zapping you when they see you. Most cops around here are on clear empty roads and I rather think this is what they do so don't want to waste money. What is latest news on them?

I think you can put your little speed demon away....save your money for the fines that will come, the detector will give you a false sense of security, pick your moments for the little extra twist of the throttle.

No; you must always obey the law no matter where or who you are. The police are just doing their job. They are there to keep us safe, to show us how to lead good and honest lives. Riders who never speed don't need radar detectors, be chaste from haste.

Some of my best friends are policemen.

From 15 to 44 years of age?

I don't think so.
