i was driving tonite and it was raining .. anyways not light rain but not heavy rain either .. sorta in between if i can remember, well maybe a bit less than that .. anyways ... i'm really concentrating on the road cause its raining ... so then i look at the speedo and it says i'm going over 75 ... give or take ... so then i'm thinkin .. shit thats a bit fast especially cause its raining and step of the accelerator... then i look in my rear view mirror then i see a flash ... **** ... anyways there was another car behind me ... a commodore station wagon ... and he got busted 2 ... so there was 2 flashes in like second ... so yeah i'm wondering if these radar detectors work???

Im pretty sure they do give a indication of police presence... They give u good detection of a camera stuck on the front of a car for both directions and for hte laser I heard that it detects it when it's being pointed on you, so u basically have bugger all time to slow down 2 hte speed limit. If ur goin really fast.. handbrake turn and back the other direction in a hurry!

I was thinkn (cos i tend 2 hav a heavy foot sometimes) goin down 2 rocca's and fittin one of those speed warning things. Dunno what they're worth but it can't be too much

Start at $180 all the way up to $999. The cheaper they are the less warning you get, about 2 seconds from my last cheapy. Pretty useless really. A heap of false alarms to. I would reccomend buying a Bel. You will need to spend at least $400 tho to get any useful sort of warning and minimul false alarms. They work in the same way as the sensor eye in your tv and vcr that picks up your remote. The cheaper Detectors have a internal oscilator that can be picked up by the police radar detector detectors (VG2). They still claim to be undetectable, because when they sense they are being detected they cloak themselves by switching of the internal oscilator. This doesn`t work all of the time as I have experienced( and had my detector taken and been fined for the illegal use of a police detection device). The more expensive Bel brand radar detecters don't have and internal oscilator at all, therefore are totally undetectable.

All Bels are detectable by Stalker detector detector.

If you buy a cheap one, be prepare to pay fine and face confiscation. If you are serious then you need to get expensive one :(

Do a little bit more research and you will see the good one

Ur whistler has not been detected does not means that it's not detectable. missnismo be careful about using it on the highway. They tend to use stalker on highway patrol cars.

Good luck

Hippy yes the cops do use radar detector detector...more so in VIC and NSW. The latest one is designed in Australia called Stalker. It's been around for a couple of years now and will detect all kind of radar detector. However there is always exception :burnout: just do a search on the net and call around :P
