Use The Gps And Radar Laser Detectors To Save In Small Towns
What do the recent economy; small towns and the speed limit have to do with your wallet? Plenty. Small towns are looking for more sources of revenue to fill the lost tax dollars due to foreclosed and empty housing or replace that part of the Stimulus Plan they couldn’t receive.
How are the towns making up this gap? They have become very aggressive in enforcing their 35 MPH zones and are not issuing the minimum amount per ticket either. It’s not the 70 MPH zones on the interstate highways that catch most drivers speeding. It’s the small town 35 MPH zone with the local police running the latest in radar or laser speed detection equipment giving out the blue light citations.
So how do drivers defend themselves against this latest revenue rampage? There are several ways. The first and cheapest is to slow down and pay attention to the speed limit signs. However, it’s all too easy to miss that 35 MPH sign as you enter Mayberry. The second is to buy a good Radar Laser Detector. Make sure that it’s a unit that ranks in the top 5 units in any common consumer comparison study, and it should give you good service. The third is to purchase one of the new Radar Laser Detectors that has its own built in data base of speed traps, Red Light Cameras and Photo Speed Cameras. These units like the Escort Passport 9500IX have data bases that can be up dated with the purchase of a subscription to the data base.
With these new units like the Escort 9500IX, you’re combining two technologies, GPS and Radar Laser Detectors, to save your hard earned dollars. The GPS database in these new Radar Laser Detectors is updated periodically with new locations for speed traps, photo radar units and red light cameras as they crop up.
Use these strategies to avoid paying Andy or Barney your hard earned dollars. You’ll save money today and you’ll save money tomorrow with lower insurance premiums.
