The news is now out, and some details about the new Redline Radar detector from Escort have emerged. If you have been waiting for a radar detector that is just pure all-out performance, well you now have what you have been waiting for. Here’s a quote from Escort: Our team of engineers have created the […]

Recently while driving down Interstate 485 my detector kept reporting activity every time I was near an overpass. A RADAR DRONE! Yup, some agencies place cheap radar emitters near the highway to set off an alarm. Not sure if I would call it a true false alarm. This has been going on for a while […]

That is correct, this post is not about a Whistler radar detector. It is not even about a radar detector by Escort or Bel. I would like to introduce you to Whistler’s foray into the world of redlight camera warning systems, the Whistler RLC-100. The Whistler RLC-100 is a complete warning system, it compares your […]

A question, if the use of redlight cameras is to reduce the number of wrecks, improve safety, catch those that do not use cowardly devices, then why do they issues fines? If this is about safety, should they not make you attend a driving safety class, make you wear a funny hat, or just call […]

We get a lot of questions about what radar detector is the best deal around. Anyone that reads this blog knows that we like every Whistler radar detector model, but that does not mean they have the best budget radar detector for everyone. If you are looking for a radar detector with very fast detection […]

A fun song is making the rounds here at Buy Radar Detectors and I thought I would share it with all of you. So here is a song about a radar detector by Darwin Deez. Enjoy, and feel free to comment and let us know your favorite radar detector or driving related song. Me, I […]

A news article recently caught our attention here at Buy Radar Detectors. The federal government is looking into using GPS to tax how much everyone drives. GPS devices would be placed in everyone’s cars and once a month the information would be uploaded and you would be sent a bill. They plan to then repeal […]

Readers of this blog know that I do not like red light cameras. If anything they cause wrecks since the people that install them also shorten the yellow lights. They often tell the city “shorter yellow lights means more tickets and more money!” They leave off the “…and cause more car wrecks” part. Notice I […]
