Are laser jammers worth it?

Laser jammers are a significant investment but do obviously provide a higher level of protection than a radar detector that is essentially useless against laser.

Do radar detectors have to be on windshield?

The best place to mount a Radar Detector for laser detection is in the centre of your windscreen, close to the bottom but above the windscreen wipers. It requires a clear line of sight to the very front of your car and must be able to see over any hump in your car’s bonnet, plus clear line of sight out the rear window.

Are radar detectors worth it?

Summary: Radar Detectors are worth it because you will pay way more when you will receive a speeding ticket, which can also get you points or license suspension. Read more about the best radar detectors here.

What should I look for in a radar detector?

Try to find a radar detector with at least 10 decibels (db) of sensitivity. Look for models with city/highway mode, which helps to vary in sensitivity to limit any false alarms. Extra features you might like are, Vg-2 Alert and Vg-2 Non Detection.

Do radar detectors detect laser?

This is why the laser detection feature on most radar detectors is often called “the ticket notifier.” If it goes off, the police officer probably already has your speed. Can good radar detectors technically detect laser? Yes.

What band do cops use?

Police radar transmits radio waves on a specific frequency, and the three frequency bands currently in use (in North America) are X-band, K-band, and Ka-band. X-band is nearly obsolete, yet maybe encountered near automatic doors or in rural areas with small police departments.

Can a cop clock your speed from in front of you?

Yes, the speed measuring devices that are installed in their cars can be deployed from the front and the back. They can also be used while the police car is in motion.

What does K and Ka mean on a radar detector?

Ka band is comprised of radar waves between 33.4 and 36.0ghz. Unfortunately for radar detector users, Ka band is slightly more complex than X and K bands. While X and K band police radar guns operate on just one or two frequencies, KA band guns operate on as many as five.
