IMHO, if you can learn to drive fast without them, you develop a sort of a sixth sense or hightened awareness about cops. I'd take that over a beep any day.

I have always said that you can't rely just on the detector. You need to be aware of the road up ahead and constantly be on the lookout for the po-po..
Sandman, did you get pinched with laser? If it is laser there is no detector that would have saved you if they flipped it on and tagged you directly. The only way that you will pick it up in time is if they tag a car ahead of you and your detector picks up the 'laser splash'. If the dector picks up laser your best bet is to brake quickly and change lanes as you do...
To avoid getting lasered you need a jammer and once you get hit the first time switch it off and do what I said above so when they hit you again they don't get a false reading a second time..
