Many people seem to think that having a radar detector somehow makes them immune to tickets. If you think this way, (1) you'll end up getting tickets, and (2) your radar detector becomes a "ticket announcer". It still requires a lot of common sense and reasonable/prudent speeds. You can't set the cruise on 90 in a 65 zone and sit back and relax, wait for a 'beeeeep' and then casually slow down, expecting to cruise past the nice officer at 64. Don't work that way.
Last ticket I got was 4 years ago, before I got my V-1... and that ticket also taught me that my speedometer was 4% slow (which I later verified with a GPS - D'OH!!). I now know exactly how far off each of my speedometers are... most are within 1-3% though. A little edumacation goes a long way. :) -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 16:54:20 -0500 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Escort 8500 X50 Radar Detector > > > Apparently looks don't mean much and I did have a Escort Passport and sold it > after getting a ticket while on the interstate.
