Radar Detectors are used to detect the presence of radar guns, they cover quite a large distance so can tell you if you are approaching any radar gun that is turned on so you can adjust your speed accordingly. The basic radar detector will tell you the presence of radar guns but there are also more advanced models that can tell you the location of fixed speed cameras and accident black spots, this is very useful and makes driving safer as you have a warning that you may be entering a dangerous area of road. There are also advanced radar detectors that have built in GPS, this GPS system allows the radar detector to know exactly where you are so it can provide more detailed information such as the speed limit of the road you are on.

Radar detectors work by detecting the signal that is emitted from any radar gun that is turned on, these radar guns work by firing a radar signal at your car which bounces off and back to the radar gun and it is the change in the frequency of that signal that tells the radar gun how fast you are traveling.
