Radar

Hi,Just received my 2023 C8 Z 51. Concerned about all the new electronic speeding cameras going up in my area. I would like to know if anyone has a preference for an excellent radar detector. May be include the options it has andhow it actually picks up a signal from a radar.Thank you.

When other traffic is present, most likely the cop has triggered on other traffic first, allowing your detector to trigger, giving you fore warning. The new detectors give very few false alerts, so key is to trust the alerts and slow down until you pass the cop or the alerts stop from the detector. The detector won't save those simply looking to beat the police with high speed, but it may save you when daydreaming, letting your speed creep up. It keeps you honest.
