GPS non-Tracking ROI — Better Late Than Never

image I’m not a big believer in radar detectors.  In general I think we should drive close enough to the speed limit to avoid tickets the ‘natural way”.  But I’m no fool … people will drive as they want to, and I’m no “goody two shoes’ either, I’ve had a few speeding tickets myself, and they hurt, and they aren’t always fair.  Unlike the other 99% of males on the road, i am not the world’s best driver, either.  If you want help, good radar detectors are useful.

In Japan the police seldom use mobile radar but they do have an extensive network of roadside speed cameras that measure a vehicle’s speed, and take a picture and mail a ticket to offenders.  More than 10 years ago one could buy a GPS warning tool to alert when near the location of speed cameras.  What on earth has taken so long for the industry in the US to catch up?

Drivers equipped with the new Cobra Electronics’ wireless remote controlled radar/laser detector with speed and red light camera location alerts will no longer be caught off guard at dangerous intersections. The virtually undetectable XRS R9G is the first radar detector to be paired with a GPS locator in the United States . Read more about the XRS R9G here.

If it will keep you from getting a ticket, and if it will keep you more aware of your surroundings and how you’re driving, who am I to argue. Recommended.
