I used a radar detector from 1976 through 2005.

Then I got popped twice by laser within 30 days. Instant on, no chance to avoid the tickets. At the first beep, I was already nailed.

That is when I realized that the radar detector gave me a false sense of security. I put it in a drawer at home and switched to setting my cruise control at 8 mph over limit. I've never been stopped at 8 over, and have been around many police cars running radar in the last 9 years. The only time I'll go faster than 8 over is if I am on a rural interstate and there are multiple cars in front of me and behind me all going at a certain speed. I will blend with the pack, but I will not lead the train (nor be the caboose).
