Now I will say what no one else has yet, if your going to speed and break the law, what are the odds your are going to listen to your parents at the age of 18? (I didn't why should I expect you to) Since you are asking how you can convince your parents to let you have one, then I think you show maturity by trying to get permission to get one instead of just going behind their backs and getting one no matter what they say.
This is what you could tell them, basically you feel more comfortable driving the speed of traffic then you do going the speed limit, so if the speed limit is 55 but traffic is going 65, then you would be speeding, you do not want to be the unlucky SOB who just happens to get picked out by the LEO to be made an example of.
Plus I would suggest allowing your parents to try using it first so that they them selves can see the benefits to having one.
Disclaimer: I would like to say that neither I nor Radarbusters.com or Radardetector.net encourages speeding, breaking the law, or disobying your parents, we ask that all members use this information in the most positive matter it was meant for.
Finally I would like to say drive safely and be careful, I've read to many horror stories of younger kids passing away due to auto accidents that could have been prevented had they just slowed down.
