From what I have been told, one more ticket and there goes my liscense, and I can't have that happen.

Well I LOVE my Escort X50!! I detect radar up to 2.8 miles away, almost no false alarms, it has saved me more than once for sure! BUT... instant on POP Radar will still get you! I can detect it but it's too late... unless it happens to be scatter from him lighting up someone else.. You just have to be lucky and in your situation you don't have that option. Better cool it for a while ( just my 2 cents)

Many people like the Valentine One because of the arrows pointing to the source(s) Both are very good & do work but none are foolproof and that is what you need right now. Price is $300 + ... I paid $335 for my blue LED Escort X50...

The officers have all the advantage but I still feel naked without my Escort... if nothing else it helps me keep alert on long drives!
