BTW: Do not be fooled into thinking that radar detectors are in any way guarantee you to be ticket free. I have been using radar detectors for more around 26 years (Escorts and Passports) and they do make you aware when you are getting painted. However, i got a speeding ticket (my first in 12 years) in 2008, even with radar detection on.

I was heading up Hwy 99 north of Sacramento in my 240z where the road is two lanes in each direction and is without a barrier. It is a rural area and early in the AM. I saw the CHP coming toward me in the opposite direction and my detector (a Solo S2) emitted a single beep. When he passed me I saw his brake lights come on in my rear view.

After we exchanged pleasantries and he wrote me up (he knocked off 10 mph), I asked how he got me. He stated that they tend to keep their radars in passive mode until they want to nail someone and it just takes a push of a button for them to get an instant read.

Food for thought.
