Falses are also a big no no for the general public. Most people will hear one door opener and will have one encounter where the LEO did not have his radar on and will toss the thing out the window.

On the highway for 2 hours daily and figure it's slightly above 10%. Half of those I know they are coming with Ka Guard OFF on the V1.
one in ten ? can't agree. It may be in your area certainly but not all over the country. One to 5% at most and 5 is stretching it.
Riding the sportbike I can see it all, cell phone on the top of the steering wheel, book reading, make-up being applied...
I would say 2-3%, if I had to guess. The majority of those are running low end/worthless detectors.
According to Michael B (Whistler rep) 7 to 10% of drivers use radar detectors.

"To find out who uses a radar detector to avoid the fuzz, we turned to New York City-based Simmons Market Research. According to Simmons, about 6 percent of licensed drivers own or lease a radar detector. Fuzz-busters are most popular among young men: At least 1 in 10 male drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 use a radar detector, as do 8 percent of men ages 25 to 34. Black motorists are also more likely to use the electronic devices for advanced warning of lurking officers: 9 percent say they own or lease a radar detector, versus 6 percent of whites as well as of Hispanics.
Although Bo and Luke Duke, of The Dukes of Hazzard, may not have had the luxury of a radar detector to avoid Sheriff Rosco, their fellow Southerners sure do. Seven percent of drivers in the South today say that they use a radar detector, making them the most likely to use the device. Meanwhile, Westerners are the least likely to use one; only 4 percent of drivers there say they possess a radar detector. But then again, they never had to go one-on-one with the likes of Boss Hogg."

So I was close. The info about percentage of speeding tickets is much more interesting here.
