That's the best protection haha, but sometimes you don't even realize your speed. I think speeding tickets are dumb if your the only one around. I was on a back road with 0 cars around, I wasn't even driving "hard" meaning like ripping corners and wot all the time, I just didn't realize I was hitting 60 in a 35. But I am getting out of the ticket, my friend got a speeding ticket on the same road and it's illegal for them to clock you for a few different reasons...

Etc.
I also need weather reports, visibility, etc. I have a full binder full of all the legal paperwork and such it's a lot to explain took me about an hour to read and explain and I have some legal experience as I was an intern (who actually learned things haha) at a law office.

To get it reduced if you are guilty and there are no legal ways out
Wear a suit
Plead guilty
Be as nice as possible
Apologize
Those can help
If you have illegal mods on your wrx then drive another car haha. Just in case...
I uses the beltronics sti driver which is almost as good in range as the valentine 1 but its around $300-$330 range. Ive never had a speeding ticket. Thanks to it also theres times when it would randomly say POP and beep like crazy.. I think thats the lidar laser it picks up

My situation is probably different. Read my last post as to why I can get out of it.

As I mentioned earlier, simply having countermeasure devices like a radar detector isn't enough. You have to know how to use it, which most people don't. 95% of people that buy radar detectors just stick it on their windshields and think it's going to automatically cloak them or render them immune to police radar/laser, which is NOT the case.

POP is instant-on Ka band radar. It has nothing to do with LIDAR. If your Beltronics device detected a LIDAR beam, it would say "Laser alert".

Upper windshield is not an ideal spot. The most commonly targeted areas on a car by cops using LIDAR is the front plate and headlights. Knowing this, it's better to mount your radar detector on the lower part of the windshield or flush mount it to the dash.
