    not if you have a good detector and there are cars that are getting tagged before it is your turn, but if you are by yourself, then yeah, you are screwed.

    yes and no..

    YES: if you are alone in the street

    NO: if you follow a "rabbit" ie: having a car infront of you. You need to have a Good detector in order to pick up the Instant-on from a far distance, I have an RX-65 and Even with Instan-on it saved me zillion times 8)

    If you drive with a rabit like me you are fine. I am frequently driving 80-85 in 65 limt simply because I can and I trust my equipment

    But seriously before I began to get a better feeling of where the cops hide and got my CB i use to stay.25-.5miles aways from a fast moving car. figuring they would get shot giving me and alert so i can slow down

    That is true, however, having a "rabbit" in front of you hopefully makes the LEO shoot him first, therefore, giving you warning so you can slow down before he shoots you. That is really the point of a rabbit. It isn't so that the LEO will go after someone else, but rather to warn you that he is there.
