Re: Anyone know anything about radar detectors on motorcycles? (Highsider)
Hey highside,
I ran with a radar in my car for a while. Probably about one out of five to ten NC highway patrolmen use the radar. Most of them just had it turned off, either not trying to catch anyone, waiting to pulse a fast mover, or most of the time using vascar. When I finally did get pulled over (in my car) I saw the guy before the radar went off (he was behind a bridge). He said that he switched b/w vascar and radar pretty much everyday. So its really a fifty-fifty chance at best that your radar will warn you in time. Vascar has come back b/c its pretty much undetectable and is much easier to calculate now than it use to be b/c of technology. What they use kind of depends on the location they are setup (go line of sight, etc) and how many patrolmen are helping I guess.
