    Escort Passport 8500X50 Black Radar Detector, Red Display

    • Set up was easy but within 24 hours I was pulled over and ticketed for speeding on the interstate for doing 9 mph over the speed limit at a speed trap when the limit dropped 5 mph from 75 to 70 (I was cruising at 79 and hadn't broke my cruise control yet).
    • Escort also has higher end models with GPS, radar camera, speed trap warning and other features.
    • Has warned me up to a mile ahead of a speed trap.
    • Yes for speed traps at work but with police officer behind you or in front of you it doesn't beep
    • After a few thousand miles of highway driving, successfully avoided several speed traps and road vultures.
    • Has picked up speed traps in the area much sooner than before, like a quarter mile sooner, generally speaking
    • Speed traps can be a quick way to raise money in these conditions and my town seems to be more enthusiastic than many in this practice.
    • It has other nice features like warnings for speed traps and red light cameras
    • I commuted a few months without any detector and find the commute more relaxing if I have the extra added knowledge of speed traps, cameras and live radar sources.
    • it does pick up SOME speed traps and cops but it also gives you false warnings
    • Great radar detector, but I hear more and more people complaining about this thing dying on them why updating and you have to update to get the latest speed traps and red light cameras
    • Don't expect this detector to save you from laser though - like all radar detectors, it simply can't warn ahead of time for speed traps using laser.
    • This detector has always alerted me well in advance of speed traps or just Johnny Law sitting on the side of the road at the end of the month
    • KA are always cops, K are speed traps
    • You are still susceptible to laser, POP and aircraft, but you will get lots of advance warning for the majority of speed traps
    • Has picked up speed traps in the area much sooner than before, like a quarter mile sooner, generally speaking
    • He tells me that the scanner is amazing and gives very little Falls positives, not only that but the distance is incredible he has been Beamed from over a mile away with intermittent hills blocking the speed trap and it still gave a warning
    • This unit helps alert you to a potential speed trap or a school zone ahead
    • I recently took a long trip to see some family, and on more rural roads it worked perfectly- was able to slow down and avoid tickets at numerous speed traps (5 or 6) and only had 1 or 2 false alarms.
    • great product, works amazing, has already saved me from multiple speed traps,
    • I purchased the Passport 8500 X50 radar detector to assist me in monitoring for potential speed traps
    • The detector is VERY sensitive, which at times can be annoying, but that has become acceptable for me as it has alerted me to many speed traps and unmarked cars to name a few.
    • I also drive through a stretch of road that is a known speed trap, and regularly patrolled
    • I don't speed, but there are several places that are known speed traps and get you written up for 3-5 over
    • but so far it detects speed traps pretty easily and consistently
    • With a detector that goes off ALL the time, it's hard to discriminate what's an actual speed trap and react
    • Works very effectively with all police speed detection, I have uncovered all of the hiding spots for speed traps around here!If you are considering the Escort cord that is an accessory I would say it's a very expensive waste.
    • I just want to know where the speed traps were in small town America
    • You'll also get early warning of speed traps and locations where police have been spotted.
    • I have this same Detector with the USB feature for downloading speed traps and camera locations
    • It paid for itself on the first use when I slowed from 95 to 70 right before a speed trap.
    • I actually find myself driving slower as to really be more aware of the surroundings.
    • If you are too much of a cheap a $$ to buy a radar detector and you still speed you deserve the ticket
    • I think it worked as
