Contrary to popular belief, a radar detector is needed not only for those motorists who often break the rules. After all, even a disciplined motorist can sometimes mechanically add speed, for example, getting out of a long traffic jam. And this is where the radar detector comes in, giving a warning signal.
Modern radar detectors are able to recognize the map of the area using GPS, change the sensitivity in the city and on the highway, and even receive information about speed limits on the road. At the same time, it is important that the device does not constantly beep, distracting the driver with false positives and unnecessary warnings.
