Not everyone using one of these is the maniac going 20mph faster than everyone else, weaving in and out of traffic, though if a ban on these would prevent those dudes, then by all means bring it on.

Would buying a cheaper option at $300, or $40 range would work too? What percentage does these work? Like saving you 9/10 times?

Regarding if these work. Yes, Uniden's work and are known as one of the best radar detectors out there. Using this with Waze, I'm at years to 0 pulled over... If you have a smaller budget, you can definitely get an R3 or even an R4 and have great success; just use Waze too. As an FYI - the only type that these don't really work for are Lasers. We always say if you get an Alert for a laser, that just lets you know you are about to be pulled over; lol.
I ordered this deal (R8) because I had a Christmas bonus that I needed to buy something for myself (wife mandated). From the R3 to the R8, I'm looking forward to more control over alerts and the ARROWS!
I have an Uniden R3 and combine that with Waze. Together, I haven't been pulled over in forever. Although, Waze does cover a lot. That doesn't help with cops who just started in a new position or on a stretch of road without many drivers (i.e. late at night). That's where the radar steps in.

Waze or Google Maps, I think its manageable to be around 15% higher than the limit anyway.
