This can be detected by cops using a radar detector detector

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Here to comment. I own this and it's insane how good the range is. I can see cops no joke 2-2.5 miles before they pass me.

For those actually using the R8's or other versions, what are your thoughts on this or the R8w vs the Valentine 1? I have three Valentine 1's currently and may be looking to upgrade.
The downside of Valentine is no GPS. They claim GPS results in muting areas that may contain an actual bogey but the big benefit of GPS is the ability to warn you of traffic cameras, which all the Unidens with GPS do well.

Use Google Maps. They are now embedding Waze alerts in Google Maps for free Big Grin
That's great if you have internet. Which isn't always the case especially in big cities downtown.

Why don't you ride a bicycle or even horse n buggy buddy…Why you gotta endanger yourself in an automobile…
Riding a bicycle on city streets is a death wish. Too many distracted drivers that will pull out in front of you or wizz by in your lane like you weren't even there. Even stressed out idiots that think they are going somewhere and will honk at you cuss you out because they feel they own the road and you are in their way. Funny thing is over half the time you wind up at the light next to them Big Grin

I have this radar detector and love it. I did a fair amount of research and do think it is the best radar detector for the money.

why drive that much over the speed limit on public roads and put others in danger? why not go to the track? some people never grow up.
