Warbler,
GOOD radar detectors, and there are a very few of them, work extremely well. If you get anything less than a Valentine One or top-line unit from Escort or Bel, you might as well poop in a plastic box and tape it to your dashboard. But even the best detector is useless if you don't know how to interpret its warnings, and is no substitute for alertness and intelligence. Continuously watch traffic in all directions, anticipate trouble spots and patrol hidey-holes, and don't attract unwanted attention to yourself by driving like a crackhead chimpanzee in a brightly-colored car.

Enzo, I've had this poop-filled box on my dashboard all evening ever since I read your post and I have to say it HAS helped me avoid speed-traps!
In fact, given that is was kinda warm today, its helped me avoid my car entirely!! And I do think police would be a little wary of me with this poop-box on my dash so that might be another pro-poop-box point.
