Two Powerful Tools for the Road Warrior

For those who are on the road quite frequently, which is just about all of us, radar detectors have become the ultimate tool for road safety and confident driving. It should come as no surprise to find out that law enforcement in all states is finding new and “improved” ways to spot people driving over the speed limit. While in some instances this is good – you don’t want to be on the road with reckless drivers; in some instances it is not so good.

If you are an average driver, it is very likely that you may drive a few miles per hour over the speed limit at any given time. Not all cars come equipped with cruise control, and so it is very easy to glance down and find you are going 78mph in a 75mph zone. It happens. Now, you’re not driving recklessly but you may receive a nice little ticket in the mail thanks to some roadside speed camera. That’s just no fun.

This is the reason why so many consumers are turning to camera-alerting equipment like the Escort Redline and the Escort SC55. These two tools can be used to increase your awareness on the road and ultimately make you a better driver. And when you are a better driver, you keep yourself and everyone else safer.

The Escort SC55 is somewhat new to the great line of radar detectors manufactured by the Escort. However, the Escort SC55 packs quite a punch when it comes to features. The device can be used on its own, or can be used with a non-GPS Escort radar detector. Once you have connected the SC55, you will receive alerts for location based threats such as speed cameras, red light cameras and the toughest speed traps in North America. What is cool about this detector is that it can be updated by simply plugging into your PC and connecting to the manufacturer’s website. Yes, a subscription would be required for such updates. This detection device is a windshield mount type, and super easy to install. All you have to do is decide if you want it by itself or with a non-GPS radar detector.

The Escort Redline has been around for awhile, and is still a big seller. Why? Sensitivity, baby! The Escort RedLine gives drivers the longest range for every signal, period. Designed with twin-antennae, the Escort Redline gives maximum performance by band. In turn, you get the longest warning possible. Far advanced from any radar detector Escort had made up to that point, the Escort Redline includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System radar capability, front and rear laser detection, dual antennae with varactor-tuned (VTO) microwave receiver, digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range and reduced false alarms. It also features a patented Mute and AutoMute, audible and visual band alerts, and all-around superior performance.

If you find yourself encountering more and more problem areas where cameras or laser guns are pointed in your direction, give yourself the comfort and confidence of advance warning. It’s not like you’re trying to drive too fast if you put a radar detector in your vehicle. Advance warning of speed traps keeps you from constantly checking your mirrors and the bushes on the side of the road; and keeps you focused on the road in front of you. It’s that simple.
