To anyone with an android, Highway Radar is on par with radar detectors for ticket avoidance. It'll show you where there have been reports in the past and give you a likelyhood of there being a cop. Also it has plane/helicopter alerts if you're paranoid about them. Biggest gripe is that there is no android auto integration and that it's not available on iOS but I'd really recommend it to anyone trying to avoid tickets with an Android.
They make bright LED light banks that alert you no matter how noisy things are. The LED alerts are the best and simplest. Google what fits the R7. The lights when angled right WILL alert and not blind you at night either.
Can someone explain to me how radar detectors help you avoid tickets? The way I understand it is that a cop can instantly get a readout of your speed as soon as your radar detector can alert you, so how would you get out of a traffic ticket if you're not able to slow down in time? Maybe I'm missing something here.
Radar waves bounce around the surrounding area. So say they checked the speed of a car 2 miles ahead, good radar detectors can catch the stray radar waves and alert you. There are of course police which only check speed for cars really hauling ass so in that case you're probably not going to get alerted but it will usually work up to a couple miles as long as the area around is flat and has trees or buildings around the road.
Hey Rob, I think your confusing that with laser, radar detectors aren’t really reliable against laser, laser is when cops see stationary and point the laser🔫 at you, radar is easily detectable and radar detectors can detect radar miles away if conditions are right, but majority of time it’ll give you a minimum of 5-7 seconds to slow down, if u check 10:50 u can see 2 examples of how it works, hope this helps, I would pair a radar detector with waze to help against lase, but ultimately if u want fool proof protection against laser I would get laser jammers but they can be expensive
@@sriavula laser jamming can land you penalties ranging with a petty $50 to a class 2 or 3 misdemeanor, before thinking about purchasing laser jamming equipment and using them on road trips/runs. It's best to do your DD coz when you get caught you run the hassle of getting an atty and paying for those fees. there are 11 states that make laser jamming super illegal and then it's legal for all the rest of 'em

@@hydra475 no radar detector can reliably detect laser tbh, they might claim it, but it’s incredibly hard to play offense for laser, you might pick up scatter (laser waves bouncing off cars)but that won’t be everytime, for laser your cheapest option would be Waze, but for laser you have to play defense, you can get laser jammers, which prevent the laser beam from getting a reading, and then they slow down and turn off the jammers so the cop can get a reading once you slow down to speed limit, however those are expensive and you have to probably get them stealth installed by someone else, cause those are like 50/50 for being legal, laser is so much harder to detect because it’s one specific beam that targets one car at a time, unlike radar which just shoots out multiple waves, but even with radar there’s stuff like instant on and pop radar, where the cop turns it on when they see a car and back off immediately

r7 does too, but I thought they were both like very late detection, like if it detects it, its too late at that point, I could be wrong tho
I enjoyed your video. I clicked on your affiliate link. And bought some stuff … hope you got a bit of money for my 8/10 purchase
@@novicedreamer2762 thank you so much man, truly it means a lot ❤️. Have a great day!!
Stop saying uum

Dude you swear a lot . It is annoying . Some folks don’t like swearing. You gotta take into consideration if you want more views .
respectfully, I’m not switching up for views, but thank you for the advice I will tone it down

@@greatpariscars ummmm
anyways
@@RLVTECHUSA u got a detector?
@sriavula oh yea must have one
@@RLVTECHUSA definitely but some people are like “why do I need one if I’m not speeding”, but they don’t realize on the highway if they get clocked 75 in a 55 or 90 in a 70 that’s technically reckless driving😭😭
to many things popping up on the screen bro jesus
how so? It relates to the video
@@sriavulaoh forsure they relate to it but man i feel like i was running away from them
@bkb9110 I get that, I was just trying something different with this vid, and it did really well ngl
@@sriavulayeah the video was still great. really been enjoying your bike videos! almost makes me want to get a bike haha the more I watch the more I want one
@@bkb9110 thank you bro!! I appreciate it 🫶🫶 , def get a bike bro it’s so fun
Cool clip I found ua-cam.com/video/M8nxex4IGGU/v-deo.htmlsi=f0yGegepRavHFl0J
Drive like a responsible human.. scary having people like u on the road.!!😮
Lmao what? I drive responsible, a little speed on an empty road never hurt nobody
what does this have to do with anything? Radar detectors are completely legal, this doesn’t mean go out and do felony reckless driving, it just a give you some nice added protection for road trips when your going 15-20 over the speed limit
Be quiet Nazi
“scary having people like u in the road” 🤓
“on her phone doing makeup while driving”
i agree bro dont be a maniac
Even laser jammers aren’t fool proof. ua-cam.com/video/3b2HIVmAOZU/v-deo.htmlsi=lkd4OYSxJgRkIBD0
Bro, get a girlfriend.
@@snarflatful I like my peace
I would have enjoyed hearing more about this detector however, if you intelligence level is reduced to using cuss words in every sentence then hard pass.
@@MarcGibson-ng6rj this was an older video i shot on the fly, i rarely curse in my newer educational videos. however if some curse words are too offensive for you, then this channel might not be for you. sorry to disappoint.
@@sriavula Totally understand. Good to hear keep up the grind and ill def check out the newer videos.
@ thanks for understanding! i appreciate the feedback. hope you enjoy the newer videos. let me know any advice in the future. have a happy holidays
Um... Every edit is um... Annoying...ummmmm
sorry zachary Sherry I haven’t masters driving and recording yet
@@sriavula ever considered not driving while completely distracted?
@@zacharysherry2910 I’m not distracted, and it’s stop and go traffic I don’t see your point here
@@zacharysherry2910go pro on your head is much better than phone in your hand talking or texting.
ur so maddd LMAO
Read more...advance your vocabulary...unless, of course, you only want to appeal to a very narrow, uneducated, slice of people wanting this kind of information...just trying to help you be interesting in your explanation. Good luck.
@@nelson1525 thanks!!!
Man, you use too many curse words for me. Peace out.
Sorry but can’t impress everybody
Or... Don't speed
hmm I’ll pass 🤷♂️
ok 👢 👅
Go back to Ukraine Nazi Pete
Shut up pussy
