One on the market that works? Wrong. Both the Blinder M20/M40 and the Bel RX75 have been proven to work consistantly well. Look at www.radarbusters.com

rx 75 is not truely a jammer (I sell them in my store) the rx 75 has "laser blocking" which is an add on kit he RX75 is also available with Laser "Blocking" - with the Deluxe RX75 Plus : this package deal includes the laser blocking ability of the LaserPro 905. And still is only as effective as the officer allows (if he wants you he'll catch you by aiming at a different area of the car that the jammer is useless on) point is there is no 100% effective counter method (especially since there are new products developed daily)

That RX75 Plus is what I'm referring to. My uncle uses one on his Dodge Magnum R/T, and it's been good for him.

I need one for the new car.

A radar detector only works if the radar gun is left on. Techinically, the officer is supposed to visually estimate the speed of the vehicle and use the radar gun to verify his estimate.

You catch a lot less speeders if you leave the gun on...typically the people who speed are the ones that have a radar detector..you leave it on standby (pause) and hit them as soon as they come into view...

If im doing the S-L and youre riding My *** for quite awhile, I will get on the throttle really quik, if you catch up and ride my *** more, i then will either, flick on the windsheild wiper fluid which shoots over my car, or I'll turn off at a store and grab something to munch and drink. and head back out.. if you try to pass me, do it.. but im not breaking if traffic comes the other way, unless its severe.


I dont pass people unless they are, riding in the ditch, going 10 under, Brake Happy, and or spitting chew out the window.

But what really Pi$$es me off are these bikers that ride in the F*cking road, thats total BS, ive seen 2 miles of cars going 20mph because this group of bicyclist that cant ride in the 5-6 ft paved area to the right of the white line.

Majority of Calgary is laser.

And the way a radar detector can really benefit you is if people ahead of you are being radared, your detector will pick up the signal.

Yeah, but thats typically when you get the lazy cop who just leaves his gun on and set to beep at anyone going 76mph or faster. If you only gun the people obviously speeding, unless you happen to be behind them at just the right time, you might only get a quick beep, which is often taken as a glitch by most people..

Around here most people run around 10-15 over, typically don't bother unless 15 over. 10 and dark tint will get you pulled usually..and if you give attitude you also get a ticket, show respect and given a warning. If you wait 10-15 minutes you will typically get a guy doin 20 over.

Just go to the track to get speed and some rubber burnin', thats what i do, but now im in the game of bracket racing.. which is more fun compared to speeding..

Dont speed where the Cops are obviously going to be.. Is it that hard?

You wouldn't think so, but lucky for me there are enough dumb people out there to keep law enforcement in business..
