It was great at detecting cops driving on the road with their in car radar on, though. I just figured I'll stay under 10 MPH over and hope for the best.

You should get the Escort 9500ci. The laser jammers work great. (Radar as well).

After Lingenfelter installed mine (Among many other "items"), I had a 600 mile drive home. The unit detected laser being shot at me several times and jammed it. I slowed down to the speed limit (ASAP), hit the mute button 2x, and then let the man get a reading. Worked as advertised and well worth the money.

With radar, you always take your chances since nothing jams radar (That I know of). You can only hope that your detector picks up the radar signal as they are shooting at someone else.

This unit has helped me in multiple situations. And I'm not out driving carelessly at 35 mph over the posted limit. I'd say, on average, 10-15 mph over the limit, which is really not hard to do.

I'd say the unit not only helps you to not get ticketed, but also helps controlling speed since alot of times you can daydream into a speeing ticket.

The Escort 9500ci works great. One thing to note: It is a stealthly mounted system that is NOT designed to be moved from car to car. But that was what I was looking for.
