Too Afraid to Ask

Radar detectors help drivers know when police might be checking their speed. They pick up signals from police radar guns, so drivers can slow down if needed.

Technical Definition

Radar detectors are devices used by drivers to detect if their speed is being monitored by police radar. They work by picking up the radio waves emitted by radar guns, alerting the driver to potential speed traps.
