Radar detectors aren't a perfect solution, but when used in conjunction with smart traffic management, they give you enough of an edge to more than justify their cost. Most dangerous/vulnerable times are at night when you're the only car on the road. You're safest when you're in traffic where everyone (or at least one person) is ahead of you and driving as fast as you are. During daylight, my method is to drive the speed limit until someone passes me, then drive the same speed as him until someone else passes us, then drive the same speed as him until someone else passes all of us. Safest when you have a little high-speed caravan of 4 or 5 cars.

Where I live, I've never been hit with a laser.

Mounting....I've always used suction cup mounts on the windshield. The newer cup mount from Escort works very, very well, but by far the best I've ever used is the Blendmount with MirrorTap.
