the only way to beat this is to SLOW down and obey the speed limit

Valentine 1 all the way. OK its expensive but it really works. I've been doin 110 and 120 mph and as soon as it beeps You hit the brakes and it gives you time and saves you the Ticket. For me its worth all the money.

Agreed. This is what I use as well. The best portable radar detector bar none:

Thanks for your two cents on this however not to be rude, but if I wanted "talking to about it" I would ask for that. I am asking for true advice on equipment...not supposed words of wisdom. I have to travel 185 miles one way to get to the airport for example and over 130 miles of that is just woods and highway. We don't have much traffic at all on the stretch....I might come across literally maybe 20 vehicles the entire way so safety for others is not an issue...when I come across them anyway I slow down. I mainly drive 10 miles an hour over the limit....nothing stupid. I am wanting to have one to be notified as well like I said about EMS warning as I feel that is a valuable component when in towns and cities. Like I said....no offense, it is just that people tend to put in their personal opinion not directly related to what someone asks and for many that is just frustrating...it doesn't truly answer the question at hand. Thanks.
