After further review, I have determined that the contact was LIDAR based and not Ka as I stated earlier. In this situation I would have had no chance if I had been speeding, but I wasn't. Most people associate Radar Detector users as habitual speeders with no regard for the law. I am not one of those I just don't want to get caught up in a freak downhill run or a brief overtake incident. True that most detectors under $200 aren't worth much, this is a 12 yr old Escort in use as I stated before not a habitual, I also have a Valentine1 in my base vehicle. While Instant on is hard to defeat if you the leader of a group of traffic it isn't if your not and it takes a little longer than 1-2 seconds, only LIDAR is that fast, but if you watch the video you will see that the alert last for quit a while leading me to believe I was out of range when first contacted or he would have truned it off sooner.
