yea they will only pay for the ticket. So you spend $500 on the radar and you get ticketed they pay 200 for the ticket. But your insurance jumps up 400 a year. for the next 7 years.

as far as paying i believe that they will only pay for the ticket if you are cited as going less than 10% or 10 mph over the limit. any more than that and you are on your own. read the fine print. google might work in this case.

or you could just not speed...

next...

That was a famous line from a crappy, crappy radar company. And in fact, I don't think that line was used to sell radars, either, it was a ploy to get you to buy passive radar jammers that don't work. Either way, crappy company (unless there are two companies using the same claim and one of them can be decent).

It was a crapp company.
They pay for the ticket, SOMETIMES, but not for the insurance increase.... its all crap.
The only thing good out there is the new v1.8 V1, and the Passport X50....
There are a few others, but those are the only two that I trust that are under $500.00.

Why did you post this in here????????????

If you want a really good one, check out radar-detectors.com. This retired cop tests out all the new ones. His favorite used to be the Passport 8500, but now is the brand new Beltronics (I want to say it's the 995, but don't quote me.). It's pretty obvious which one he likes the best...

i bought valentine1 about 6 years ago and it saved my *** bunch of times already. however, it is still possible to get a ticket when the cops just have their radars off till they aimed straight at your car. this way, any radar is garbage. valentine1 will pay for you ticket under a million circumstances; they make a bunch of inquiries and proofs before dealing with your ticket. however...valentine1 in my car is worth every penny of that 500 bucks i spent. 6th year, and still running...

Not only there's a limit of how many MPH over the speed limit (~10% or 10MPH), there's also a limitation on how many you can claim. I think you are only allowed to file for one claim for your ticket money in a year.

You know... I have never been pulled over and I don't drive like a gramma.. I just don't attract attention to myself. (and in a few cases were just really lucky...)
Cops now have ways to get around rader detectors... the best probably is Instant on... Radar off... till he clocks you... radar detector goes off... cop pulls you over... Just drive smart .... cops pull people cause they are being stupid... rarely for just going a little over
but if you're flying down the highway at 90, weaving in and out of traffic then you deserve to get pulled over, and a radar detector won't help you... (as my friend will tell you)
