Not only do I continue to do the normal scan of the mirrors every 8 to 10 seconds (drivers training for a company I used to work for..don't think I'd want to shake the habit even if I could), I'm also alot more aware of my surroundings (even the motorcycles that come tearing up along side when you're at a light).I'd have to say that in the first four months of owning mine, it has come close to paying for itself twice already.Back on topic, spotted Mecury Silver T, 'HOT SIX' on Great Eastern early this afternoon. ←yeh that's defo true, I pay a LOT more attention nowadays, prolly also because of the occasional false alerts..hey F6_UTE - how do you find the escort??? im thinking upgrading my Vector 945 for one.. not that I have any probs with the Bel, I just want blue lights hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F6 Tornado will tell you the Bel beats the Escort for detection every time.Cheers,Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No false alarms, and has better Multinova detection.. Laser, who knows, and really, if u are hit with laser you're stuck with the fine!!. ( some of us are )I think the X50 is better than the RX65, but I really only bought mine coz it has blue lights!!!!

Every review except one that I read when doing the research indicated that the X50 was the stuff. I've owned many Escorts since I've been driving but the data on the Bel just couldn't cut it.Optioning the blue lights was just a bonus! Spotted 4 big (but shallow) dents on my bonnet. My luck just keeps getting better.←Cat problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
