If you drive a lot of highway/interstate, most places are switching to Laser which your typical radar won't detect anyways till it's too late. Every ticket I've received has been by laser.

Tickets while owning radar: 3
Tickets without radar: 0

If you want laser protection, nothing is better then the Blinder. I had it and it saved me a few times...
I have to agree with the above statement.

I had my V1 confiscated (twice!) here in Ontario by the OPP. I have since switched to a Bel STi and have not been detected.

However, I parked the radar detector and am now just more aware. Zero tickets since then. 3 tickets while using radar detectors.

Just slow down

Having detector is one thing, knowing how to use it is another. You get much over 90 mph then your probably going to get a ticket. You need
reaction time, and make sure there is always a car ahead of you to pick
up the burst first. KA instant on is hard to beat, but it can be done if you drive smart.
