Radar Detectors Lancaster SC

1. Properly mount the radar detector. This is the first thing people usually screw up and it's not really their fault. The manufacturers like to tell you to mount your radar detector right smack dab in the middle of your windshield. This is a bad idea for a couple of reasons. First off, the cop who is pointing the radar at you isn't aiming it at your windshield, he's focused in on your license plate or headlights. If you mount your radar detector up as high as the middle of the windshield then you are not going to pick up some of the signal that the radar gun is throwing at you.
   
   Secondly, why advertise the fact you have a radar detector? Sure they are legal in almost every state (sorry D.C. and Virginia) but most law enforcement personnel do not look too kindly on people with radar devices that essentially help them break the law. Also, your radar detector might entice thieves.
   
   Another thing to consider is that the radar detector could be obstructing your view if it's in your line of sight, which is just dumb and potentially dangerous. So set it low as you can, either on the dashboard or the windshield, but be careful your wipers don't obstruct it. This positioning will help tremendously, especially if you are being targeted by laser which has a smaller beam and is tougher to pick up.
