I agree with you, if you're just talking about laser. With laser, it
seems like the chances of a detector saving you are rather rare. If
the detector goes off, probably all its really good for is telling you
that you're about to get a ticket. :-) However, for normal radar, that
stuff bounces all over the place, and can easily be picked up if the
police are just sitting there flooding the road with it. Even if they
are using instant on, you can pick it up as they shoot the cars ahead
of you. (Unless you're the first car in the line, in which case you're
out of luck.) :-)
