And 5 times in 8 years is NOTHING if you happen to live in a busy area with speed traps.
Congrats Syringer.
Agree. In a very busy metropolitan area, a radar detector will not help you too much. On a busy highway with lots of exit ramps, loops and bridges, the speed limit may be 55MPH but traffic moves at 65-70MPH. 100's of hiding places for the man and your detector is always beeping away anyway.
Now the open highway is a different story...but even then, instant-on laser is a bitch.
I personally think 99% of the speed limits are bullshit and only there to generate revenue for the county/city. Speed limits in school zones/residential neighborhoods are a good thing and you're an idiot for speeding there. But on the highway? Floor it.
