The same principle holds true with a radar detector. Half the time I hear an X or K band (very common and usually caused by automatic door openers at shopping centers), I typically find myself looking at the display before thinking about braking. KA band on the highway (CHP)? QUICK BRAKES or it's too late...you have to instinctively react or you're toast. Same holds true with any audible device to warn you about low oil pressure. But I suppose something is better than nothing.
