mvp23 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 It's good to know you learned your lesson. I don`t see how is that a learned lesson since I am buying the radar detector so that I can go over the speed limit. Hey, these speeding tickets are just govermnet`s bussiness.

thr33niL Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Radioshack is good for pieces and parts. Don't buy a radar there. Just hit Google and do some good old fashioned research. When you find your price range and the best radar for the money, scour eBay for a deal.

Bongripz216 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 according to Car and Driver magazine, the best would be the Valentine 1 with radar locator. www.v1pop.com Remeber: speeding is only illegal if you get caught.

thr33niL Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 My last speeding ticket came on one of the worst days I've had in the past few years. The day before, I busted up my shoulder snowboarding. I was on the way back from the Orthopedic Surgeon who just got done telling me I had to get a screw in my shoulder. On the way home I caught a rock in the corner of my new car's windshield ('05 WRX - my baby) and watched a crack split about 12 inches across my window. Meanwhile, as I was cussing up a storm and getting my phone out to call my brother about the wonderful screwfilled news, I apparent entered a reduced speed zone where NO road construction was happening and was nabbed by a stater going 52 in a 45. Where the normal speed limit is 55. We debated a bit on the lack of adequate speed limit signs. He didn't care much for my personal situation either. The fact that I had a multiple thousand dollar surgery in my future. He did juke me out and said he was going to give me a break. He then went into a dramatic pause, letting me think that he was going to let me off with a warning. ...Only to say that he was giving me a break since he wasn't going to double my fine for speeding in a construction zone. Dickmove by him. So yeah, I'm done speeding for a bit. But I haven't been driving much the last month and half. Tough to drive stick with one arm. Getting caught speeding DOES suck. Especially when you're hosed for going 7 mph over on one of the worst days of your life.

Kccitystar Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Well, if you did not drive too slow than people would not have the reason to drive fast No, I failed because of a stupid city cab who felt he was king of the road, and almost got me into an accident when I had the right of way. Insta-Fail because of one jackass. Again, I say FU to speeding when you put other drivers in danger Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/29378-radar-detectors/#findComment-411581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thr33niL Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I couldn't imagine taking my driving test in a big city. I took mine in Hickville USA. I don't even think they knew what a "cab" was there.

Hey, these speeding tickets are just govermnet`s bussiness. A radar detector doesn't tell you the speed your going (you could look down for that) It tells how close the cop is to you.

marinerschas2 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I luckily passed my drivers test with a solid 86... Although i didn't know the speed limit of a certain main road in suburban University Place, Wa. (roughly a half hour away) The instructor wouldn't tell me so i guess and was lucky with 35. even though bridgeport should be much faster. I just got a lovely letter from the grays harbor police department saying they caught wind of a ticket i had 5 months after i got my 6 month deferment for speeding. Damn Washington State patrol is always out to get me. One was in the middle of nowhere (satsop, wa, roughly 80 miles away) doing 75 in a 60 with my mom in the car... the other was in lovely Sumner (roughly 3 miles away), doing 65 in a 55 with my mom in the car agian. I was taking her to the eye doctor and we were really late... The cops are really after the 19 year old's driving their mom's silver buick's. I doubt i'll ever get pulled over in my beautiful 89 nissan maxima. ok, my tons of info filled rant is over. I debated a rader detector, but it wouldnt be worth my money. Thr33nl, what town was it? I remember really wanting to drive to eastern washington to take my test.
