Cheap Radar Detectors Online

Archive for the ‘Radar Detector Info’ Category

I will be a Sr. in high school this yeah and have driven my 97 4Runner for about a year and a half. It has over 233,000 miles on it but so far, the only thing i’ve had to replace are the U-joints. I recently decided to drive this baby until she dies on me. So, with some of my summer job earnings (i don’t work during the school year), I bot some really nice Yokohama Gilander A/T 265- 70- 15’s at 150 bucks a pop. Needles to say, it hurt my bank account pretty bad but these tiers were really my only option in this size (stock on the 4Runner is 223- 75- 15’s so the bigger tiers look really good and big enough to fill up the wheel well). Therefore, I’m looking for ways to make this rig last as long as possible. i will most likely perches a small motorcycle, like a 250 ninja at the end of the summer next year, to stretch the life of my 4Runner a little bit. even then, this thing has a lot of miles on it and even though these vehicles are known for lasting forever, i want to do everything i can to stretch the life as much as possible. oh, it’s pretty much the base model. a 4×2 without SR5 and it has a 2.7L 4 cil. I drive pretty fast (average of 50- 60) and sometimes 80 on I-40 when i’m late for work or school( i have a radar detector) but i am aware of my revs and usually, on take off let it switch into second around 2500 or 3000 if the situation calls for it. I maybe floor it once a week for a quick overtake of a care going the speed limit (I am a safe driver even if i do push the limits and i have never wrecked) oh, and i use high milage non- synthetic oil but I was thinking of switching to synthetic if yall think its worth the extra cash. any ideas would be appreciated! thanks
oh, it’s a VIT 2.7L 4 Cil. if that makes any dif. I guess u could say in cold weather, it smokes significantly for the first 5 mins after starting but then it dwindles down to what i call a normal amount of CO for cold weather. it doesn’t smoke at all in the 60’s and higher. what’s the best way to keep this engine running good and maybe even reduce the cold weather CO?

This is what happened…
I was riding home from school with a friend when a motorcycle cop passed me
thinking nothing of it I kept going with cars still behind me
as the cars took a left turn
I entered a 45 mph zone
I was going 53 max
but the cop apparently was driven off the road and pulled around caught up to me then pulled me over and asked me to roll down the windows
the first question he asked was if I was deaf and when I said no he said why didn’t you see me following you all this time ( which I really didn’t see)
and then he said that I almost ran him over when I passed him and almost hit him head on because I almost changed lanes
and that he clocked me at 56 mph at a 35 mph zone
I don’t remember even doing that and I was going 53 in the 45 zone
and that he clocked me with a radar when there were two cars behind me
I plead not guilty so I need to know how to fight these?

do they make these and if so where to buy???

because no one likes speeding fines…
as a reply to jon…
any specific one you would recommend? i dont really want to have to wire anything to the bikes electrical system or to the helmet.

Just like my question asks can I sue them for wrongfully arresting me. The reason why I was arrested was because I failed the tests. I am over weight and told the officer I had balance issues and this is not the first time I have been arrested for the same thing.

I was pulled over because the officer stated that I was speeding, he asked me to get out of my vehicle, he never even asked for my license and registration, the road I was on was very dark and I did not know the area, also I know for a fact that I was going way below the speed limit which where I was the speed limit was 45. He told me I was going 75, I asked him if he used a radar gun he said no, but that he could approximate, Well I know for a fact that I was going moderately slow because I was looking for a street name. The streets with the names on them were dark as well so I was pulling close to each and every one of the streets, due to bad eye sight as well, and even with my glasses I can’t see too far. This happened in the AM hours on labor day weekend 2010.

The officer who pulled me over was a motorcycle cop, when he asked me to get out of my vehicle he automatically had me do a test and before I started the test I was like oh no not again i knew where this was gonna go. When we talked for the first few minutes I was not so nervous I was trying to stay calm. Then once he said to do the sobriety test my legs started to shake. I was so nervous and that is what happened last time, also I deal with anxiety so all the cars that drove by I immediately started to get very nervous cause all that was on my mind was that they were watching.

So I did all the test and even offered to do a breathalyzer test the officer told me no because he thought I was on a drug, he then called another officer who had a patrol car to show up. Which at that very moment I knew they were gonna arrest me. When I was arrested they put me in the back of the cop car and they were talking by the drivers side window, the cop who pulled me over started talking all quietly to the other officer about how his main goal was to pull over as many drivers as possibly for the soul purpose to find a few intoxicated drivers because he was not meeting his quotas for the night. When he brought me to the DUI RV i did more tests and i plainly just felt dumb because everyone else there was drunk and i mean like falling over and slurred speech I had non of those symptoms except for nervousness. after talking with some guy inside the RV the arresting officer was like saying sorry to me, saying that even though he arrested me and it seems like your not on anything as he thought i was when he arrested me he appologized to me and was like I wish I could go back and not have arrested you but hey you can fight this in court. So basically he lied about everything and wasted my time and his. I was disgusted

I’m 17 and i have my car and motorcycle permits. I was riding with my friend (also on a permit) on our bikes and we were going 60 in a 55 and i passed him just as a sheriff got me on radar at 79 mph, i don’t believe i was going that fast but that’s what the ticket reads. i got one ticket for being an unlicensed operator and another for 79 in a 55 while my friend got one for unlicensed operator. i want to know what should i expect for fines and what will happen with my permits, and also will it affect me getting my drivers license?

the cop was writing another person a ticket and his motorcycle was behind the car.. i was coming down hill on a curved road and he said he caught me on radar. He wasn’t even situated on his bike when i passed him. he was standing behind the other car infront of his motorcycle. He then said he caught me on radar and that i didn’t evn sound like i was going speed limit.

So i wanted to get his citation record to show that he was pulling someone else over at the time. Can i get that in discovery? if so How can i word it in the discovery request?

I.E.- A copy of the officer’s citation record on the date of ##/##/##?

Will that work? ^

That you ever heard of…like 150 in 55 would be a 95mph difference, etc.

The reason I ask is that once (years ago) in H.S. I got clocked on my ported and chambered Kawasaki H2-750 doing 141 in a 45 (Don’t worry it was a deserted country road frequented by racers with no intersections so I wasn’t putting anyone in danger…except myself of course..lol) while racing another motorcycle…the other guy turned off a side road after we were done racing and i continued straight and ran into the cops who had by then (seeing 141mph and 125mph on their radar and hearing my H2 screaming) had setup a road block…I thought I was going to get a huge ticket but after much discussions among themselves and bringing in what I took was a shift commander they decided since one the bikes they were clocking got away they couldn’t prove which one I was…I figured they’d just give me the 125 mph ticket but they decided they couldn’t for some reason…so after a stern talking to I went on my way…141mph in a 45 clocked on radar and I walked (well rode)…lol

Is there anything I can do to contest it?

They were not stationary, does that affect anything? Are they allowed to use the radar calculations even though they were moving in the opposite direction?

Also, how much is a speeding ticket? I was going 34 in a 25, in California

Thank you
I’m sorry I’ve never seen a moving radar before, usually cops just post up somewhere and gun people down. I was only wondering because I know that doppler radar has a margin for error, and I was wondering if it increased to a significant degree when you add the speed of their vehicle going in the opposite direction.

I can ask the same thing about building and safety dumpster hunting and code enforcement measuring shrubs and such.

i would like to install a police radar on my 08 gsxr 600. im just wondering where do i connect it to. i dont know if i should connect it to the battery with an on/off switch. or should i connect it to the head lights?

i know most radars use 12v with a cigarette plug so how would i connect it.? thanks to thoses who help

can these vans detect a speeding motorcycle, if so how hard is it for them to get your picture. I have speed past them twice once going 15 over the last time going 130 on the interstate; neither time was my picture taken but would like to have some info. on this topic before my luck runs out. The name of the van company is either LIDAR, or Photonotice if this helps any.

I recently stumbled across, in my garage, an older model Whistler detector, a Model 1540. I don’t need the "cutting edge" technology in radar detection equipment, yet I wonder if this unit still provide a modicum of protection…I know the 1540, e.g., has X, K, Ka and laser/VG2 capability but I know it’s close to 10 yrs old. Should I feel comfortable using this older detector? Thnx

Ok so my boyfriends birthday is coming up and i want to get him one of those things that goes on your bike and it like jumbles up the police’s radar? i cant remember what its called!! but if anyone knows what im talking about and knows of a really good brand plz help me out here! he has an 06 zx-10r if that helps at all! thanks!
