Almost all drivers experience that cold moment when you realize you have driven for a while over the speed limit and you think you spot a police car on the side of the road well ahead of you. The fear of getting caught speeding is common to all drivers, even the ones that drive extremely slow have reported that they fear to be seen speeding by the police. It is no wonder that most people are afraid to get caught, getting caught usually means that you will have to pay the price, sometimes money and sometimes it is much, much worst.

First we must examine the reason for speeding, although this is an article about radar detectors there is some sense to keeping a speed limit, maybe you are young at this moment, but one day you will have a family, and you wouldn*t want your kids to play outside and get hit by a speeding car, maybe you love racing but do not yet understand that racing requires skill and more importantly * a track. So there is a sense in keeping a limit to the speed in which people drive.

But, as all things some people want their freedom, some don*t even care about getting caught * they just love to drive fast, other claim that they will not speed but want to be aware of who is watching them. For all these people there is one very clear and fast solution and that is the radar detector.

Car detection radar will assist you in avoiding speeding tickets and will let you know if a radar is in sight, they do not guarantee that they will spot a radar but all claim to have a high chance of success in informing the driver a radar is close. There are three basic types of radars that are used in trying to locate something that is moving at any speed, the X kind of radar, the K and the third * the Ka- Band radar detector, all are working on the frequencies, which is the important thing about the car radar, any product that you will want to look at will need to scan the frequencies for the beam that is trying to spot it, that is why many of the radar detectors are loaded on the windshield or the dashboard of the car, for maximal visibility.

Although the way in which different radars detect the moving vehicle may differ significantly form one another, if you want to buy something that you could use for a while you should first think about where are you mainly driving and research what kind of radars are used in that area, there is no sense in going out and purchasing the most advanced product on the market if you drive around only in one area that used an old fashioned radar gun to spot speeding cars.

For maximal protection you should think about what you need and why you need it, for example you don*t need it when driving in town and only when you drive long distances, you should try and find out what kind of radars is used in your area, and once you know these things research the products on the internet. Just before you purchase one ask yourself, is it not easier to simply drive by the rules?.
