I take it you have never owned one. It can detect a signal a long distance ahead when they are running with it on all the time or when clocking other cars. Usually mine goes off well before it is humanly possible to see the unit. The only case when it does not really help much is with laser units, which I have only seen go off once in probably ten years since 85% off police units use some form of radar in the US. If you have ever used a cheap radar then you may experience some frustration at false sisnals or limited reception distance, but just like anything else, you get what you pay for. I recently upgraded from an older to a newer model and probably get twice the warning distance.
