Well.. I have been using valentine 1 and not escort. Which is radar and laser detector. again it depends what you have. Seems lucky that i got the beep and reduced my speed.
Here in USA, where I will be happy to pay ticket if it don't come on your record. Speeding tickets on your record and bump your insurance premium goes up. For us spending 4 to $500 is ok as ticket is 100 plus and points plus premium increase.
If u have escort.. Give a try to valentine
. No Detectors is not 100 percent but to your experience 50% is ok as well for us.
