its near macau grand prix and usually in these times police has lots of actions against speeding + illegal modification, therefore drive safe and within normal speed ! especially in Yuen Long highway, the cops caught 30+ cars in 3 days on that highway for dangerous driving + illegal racing!

and i think its like this - for e.g. 5 points were deducted on nov 16 2010, you will get your 5 points back on nov 16 2012. 3 points were deducted on nov 17 2010, you will get the 3 points back on nov 17 2012 and so on! |

Wait, don't you have V1 or some other radar detector, it should have warned you, maybe these radar detectors aren't working as advertised? As I said, don't want to spend HK$4000 on a detector that dosen't work...hope that fear I have is wrong.

u just need to setup expectation right. detector helps from those pigeon boxes (orange and gray) and mobile cannon cameras but not handheld laser. extra note for the pigeon boxes, u probably noticed there are recent new orange ones installed in most of the places. these new ones carries K-band signal and are adjusted in their signal strength so that detectors can only provide alert until you are almost running parallel to them. so far no detector is known to be able to tackle this to provide advance enough alert like they do for the old orange boxes.

On a sidenote, the cameras can only catch traffic going away from them, that is those approaching the back of the camera, not oncoming traffic (those heading in the opposite direction-that is traffic heading towards the camera lens) correct? Last edited by JohnMan; 11-17-2010 at 02:20 AM.. |

Thanks again. A shame about the radar detectors being totally ineffective in warning the driver, I was going to buy it tomorrow, but is now having second thoughts. Hopefully, there can be future detectors that can actually warn you of approaching radar and lasers.

If it does increase the strength, will it make it easier to detect by v1? The bottom line is, is it still better off in buying a radar detector (despite not always reliable) then not buying one? |

it's just a pull & push game on the signal strength.
for your question, my answer is still a "yes" a side note, i guess you should have done some research before, at least to myself V1 is the best so far for the detection distance to generate early enough (still depends on individual drivers though ) alert, but there are also other brands that also work the same way. Even some China made ones are not too bad, esp. in terms of the price vs value.

share again an earlier clip for my V1 alerts me on being "lasered"
early alerts were actually come from the drivers opposite... haha (donno why the embedded video no longer working for me...)

Yeah the problem is that I got busted in November last year, so if i get nailed, that's another 3 points, it will start adding up and I don't want to have it get to that point. There was no warning from the radar, what angers me was that I really wasn't going fast, well not excessively over the limit by any means, so it would stink if i got hit again by a ticket.
