Shop radar detectors on sale and avoid a speeding ticket

We’ve all been there: you listening to a great podcast and you slip into auto-pilot, only to get pulled over speeding like you’re trying to recreate a scene from the Fast and Furious. Now you’re in the unfortunate position of running even more behind while dealing with a hefty fine — not to mention a few points on your insurance.

We’re not telling you how to live your life, and maybe you like the thrill, but there’s an easier solution: Get yourself set up with a radar detector. Right now, you can head to the PCMag Shop (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) to score big savings on a variety of radar detectors, including the best-selling Uniden R3 Extreme long range radar detector GPS. 

It’s pretty rare to see these high-performance devices discounted, and even more rare to see multiple options marked down. Our suggestion? Get them while you can. Plus, they’re all less than on Amazon so you know you’re getting the best of web pricing.  

A word to the wise: If you’re in the United States, you can legally use a radar detector everywhere but Virginia and D.C., where they’re prohibited. Radar detectors are also prohibited for all commercial drivers, as well as in any military bases or federal parks throughout the United States. In Canada, radar detectors are banned everywhere but British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. So if you find yourself passing through any of the areas where radar detectors are a no-go, you’ll want to remove the device to avoid racking up pricey fines. 

Head to the PCMag Shop to snag the following deals on radar detectors to stay safe and ticket-free while you’re on the road.

The top-selling Uniden radar detector comes stacked with 360-degree protection and extreme radar sensitivity, to pick up on frequencies. Thanks to the convenient built-in GPS feature, you’ll get alerts for any red light cameras, while muting all false alerts. Regularly priced at $399.99 and currently $342 on Amazon, you’ll be saving $70 on the powerful Uniden R3 Extreme long range detector. 

Almost like a more high-tech Waze, the Escort Passport S55 laser detector comes equipped with ESCORT Live, a network which warns you of upcoming alerts received and reported by other users in the area, while giving you access to local speed limit data. Right now, you can get the Escort Passport for more than $209 off its list price and $17 less than its priced at Amazon. 

The Uniden DFR7 long range radar detector balances all the key factors of a high-performance radar detector. You won’t be tricked by false alarms, it’s easy to operate, and comes with a built-in GPS. This current PCMag Shop deal is a $20 savings of its usual list price and $13 less than you’ll find it listed at Amazon. 

Essentially the holy grail of radar detectors, the Uniden R7 features one of the fastest processors available. Thanks to a clear, multi-color OLED display, you’ll get easy-to-read updates from its extreme radar sensitivity capabilities to know what’s coming up miles ahead. Usually priced at $599.99 everywhere, this is a $30 savings you won’t find anywhere but the PCMag Shop.
