Investing in a radar detector....?

Just check with your local laws to make sure it's not illegal to have one. Most places it isn't.

A good radar detector will be able to detect something like 80% of cops sitting on the side of the road. But just remember, if a cop pulls up behind you while you're speeding then hits the radar gun, obviously your detector isn't going to be able to pick that up fast enough for you to slow down.

If you drive on the highway often and prefer the fast lane, it's a good investment. But even with a radar detector, it's about 50/50.

Couple of points...if you're doing 50 in a residential...you don't deserve a ticket...you deserve to have your license revoked. I've got 2 little ones and if I see that shit I'll personally take your license and your balls! Additionally oreo...detectors are illegal in VA so if you get caught with it, no matter how much dough you spent...it's gonna' go down the tubes when they take the damn thing from you.

I think we can all agree that speeding is not the "right" thing to do in any situation, however, getting pulled for doing 6 or 7 mph over the speed limit because some pig is trying to meet his fuckin' quota is just bullshit.

Nuff Said! Be Safe!

Yeah I agree with a few kms or mph over the limit on highways etc. Hell on our 401 its damn dangerous not to be going 10 km over in the slow lane! When I hit the fast lane I pop up to 30 over and hit cruise. My thing is I play it cool till I find a few people clockin at a good pace and let them get ahead enough that if there is a speed trap theyll either hit their reds or get nailed. I use them as my radar detector.
In town I dont speed at all, not 1 km over. Too easy to get into an accident.
On my street I dont tollerate it. Im like the fuckin one man neighbourhood watch vigilante on my street. My neighbour had a teen buddy who loved to peel out and race down the street, sometimes the wrong way, regardless of if my kids were out front or not. 1st time warning, 2nd time threat, 3rd time I yanked his ass outa his car when I caught him at the light and pulled him onto the street and told him I was going to make sure he understood quite clearly that he would not speed like an ass on my street again or I would go animal on him. Some neighbours pulled me off and hes been a good boy since. I was planning to slam his gear hand in his door and break his fingers. His rubber marks came within feet of my kids. Im not a big man or a violent one but when it comes to my clan and my castle Im a fuckin wild dog.
I dont need to lose anyone else to assholes so I get kinda hot about it real fast.

anyway. Just relating why I feel the way I do. Not forcing it on you just offering it up for consideration.

Just obey the traffic laws. I drive the speed limit and everyone I litterally mean everyone passes me, but I don't care because they are not going to be the ones paying my ticket. Plus you use less gas, and that means driving the speed limit is better for our environment!

Sorry to hear that Funky...i dont speed in neighborhoods like i said, specially with all the kids around and plus if i did i could lose my job. I am on the highway a lot and thats what i am the most worried about running into cops. Cops are always trying to get someone on the highway so i have to watch out. When im at work i dont use the highway so i will be fine since im getting a restricted still.

Yea , I wasnt necessarily just directing it at you since you posted about highway speeding. I kinda figured though that the thread would attract a lot of views and many opinions about speeding and it was a good opportunity to pass on some real life stuff to maybe make even one person think twice about how fast they are going to head home or off to work etc.
Thats not to say that Ive never been a teenager buzzed on acid racing down the qew with the needle buried driving like a nascar driver trying to get home before my buzz hit too bad for me to drive. Ive done some dumb ass shit and miraculously never hurt anyone thank god. (12 or 13 years ago)

intense....i couldnt fuck with any other drug and drive. When im high ill be fine. Ya i guess im not gonna get one...i mean it is illegal in my state so i probably would get caught up in some more shit...............ehhhh this sucks

401 is a joke i hate driving on it, my sister lives in london and i hate the 2 way trip, where ever i go when i drive i just follow the speed of traffic, unless its late at night and im on back/major roads. not in residential areas

funky where abouts in ontario are you?
