The cost of a radar or laser detector for your vehicle
The cost of a radar or laser detector for your vehicle may be well worth it when compared to the expense of a speeding ticket, or perhaps time off from work attending traffic school to lesson the impact on your wallet, your driving record, and/or your insurance rates. If you’re driving in an area where speed limit enforcement is lax, enforcement officers are otherwise engaged with violent crimes, drug activities, illegal border crossings or the like you may get away with a little more speed than the posted limit. But in some areas where officers have little else to do, or perhaps enjoy the competition in quotas, then these devices are worth their weight in gold. In some metropolitan districts, L.A. for example, you may get by with increased speed of 10 to 20 mph over the limit, so long as you are moving along about the same as other drivers around you. But if you’re driving in certain areas (perhaps new locations with which you’re unfamiliar), a Cobra XRS 9940 radar detector could well be a godsend for a driver unaware of the local, very vigilant, speed stoppers on duty.
