The RMR-C450 is what you want. They even pay for your ticket if you get a speeding violation using their detector.
Why do they only have a year rebate on speeding tickets? Does it stop working after one year?? I have actually owned RMR and still got pulled over by the Rhode Island State Trooper. I now have the Valentine One and like their website says, once you get used to the arrows, you'll never go back!! It's true Its true.

The RMR-C450 is what you want. "Note that it has a scrambler so if that is illegal where you are then you might want to consider something else."

The same engineers that made the Laser and Radar equipment for the USPD started this company.

For $250 the C450 kills the competition!

I hardwired mine 4 years ago and it's tucked up behind the mirror on the pasenger side which is barely visable; I can't tell it's even there except for when it talks to me. Very clean and very accurate. Stays quiet unless there really is something to worry about. I have never had a speeding ticket using one and I speed all of the time. They even pay for your ticket if you get a speeding violation using their detector.


The Valentine 1 works but for the money the RMR-C450 is the better buy for sure.......

Forget it. With Instant-On radar, they usually have you, no matter what kind of detector you have.

Just slow down and stay within 10 MPH of the limit in the U.S., and about 15 KM in Canada, and the cops probably won't bother you. But doing 40 KM over, as you yourself noted, is just asking for trouble.

.
Btw (or as you would say not correct) with instant-on radar you can detect them shooting other vehicles well in advance, (you must not have experience using one I see).
