Only thing they are good for is giving you less or a speeding ticket maybe by allowing you a second to slow down... maybe. But you can save yourself a ticket by using a little common sense. Be aware of your surroundings and what is going on around you. Watch oncoming traffic as well as the traffic you are driving with to see what speed they are driving, and what they are doing. Also a good indication is truckers. They have scanners and know what cops are doing. If they are speeding, most time it is safe.. if they are going the exact speed limit I would not push it.

Radar detectors in the city are definately 100% garbage btw.

bingo. know your surroundings.. check your mirrors all the time....

night driving is trickier, but if you're on the freeway, and theres a huge gap between you and the cars behind you, you should be relatively safe to speed.
