According to experts, as many as 10-20% of speeding tickets are issued in error because the radar didn't read your speed accurately. When the officer measures your speed from a moving police car, then the error rate jumps to as high as 30%.

The detector may actually lure you into a false sense of security and land you with a ticket. Some high-end detectors have a laser detection feature, but its effectiveness is questionable.

The fast-sweep FMCW technology and advanced algorithms enable more information to be collected than legacy radar devices. Impressive level measurement accuracy of ± 2 millimetres at a range of 15 metres can be achieved.
