Radar Detector Recomendation

This is sort of correct but no need for a radar detector. I was taught
in driver education that:

1) You go at the speed that everyone else is going no matter what the
speed limit is, or you are the road hazard.

2) If people are passing you on the right means that you're in the
wrong lane.

This is simply common sense and curtesy. People going 80 when everyone
else is going 70 are going to cause problems, as are people going 55.
What you refer to as cops being arbitrary is mostly them using commmon
sense and hauling over the folks causing problems that can be fatal.

 

it's not the rev limiter that restricts speed - /all/ diesels have rev
limiters, [so do all fuel injected cars], it's whether there's an actual
speed limiter. i believe, as you say, that there are some vehicles that
are restricted like articulated buses, but i don't know what that speed
is. fuel injected hondas have speed limiters, but that limit is much
higher than legal.

 

The National Maximum Speed Limit,or NMSL;
it had the Unintended Consequences of making the highways more unsafe and
destroying lane discipline. it really brought out the MFFY in drivers.

Also,it's a fine example of how speed limits are not set for safe
travel,but often for other,political reasons.

either way,ticketed or warning,getting pulled over by a patrol car and
lectured by the officer is not enjoyable. ;-)

 

Amen. That's one of the few bits of common sense I've seen in this thread.
Your point number one, by the way, is also what I was taught in driver
education.

 

OR,you keep to the rightmost lane. KRETP/STKR.
In every US state,the leftmost lane is not for cruising,it's for passing.

LANE DISCIPLINE,folks. it works on the Autobahn.

 

Works? Hell, it's the LAW.

If you fail lane discipline on the Autobahn and are caught doing so,
your punishment makes dealing crack down on Main Street look like
nothing.

 

JUst buy which ever one you want and can afford.
A radar detector will not save you!
The cop, when he's running radar on you, switches it on when your about
100 yards from him, he gets your speed at that instant. Speeding then,
you better just except the ticket.

Remember :-
When you go fishing, do you catch all the fish?
Applies to Cops running Radar as well

 

If you use it properly,yes it will. Not ALWAYS,but usually.

if you close to within 100 yards of a cop and are still speeding(detector
or not),you DESERVE a ticket.

the only detector I will recommend is the Valentine V-1.
I still have my Escort and Uniden detectors,in a box in the closet.
they both paid for themselves in ticket avoidances,BTW.

 

Get the latest Valentine model. When driving it goes off all time and
'wala' there's a cop . 9 out of 10 times the cop will be using his gun
on traffic in front of you so you get a pre-emptive strike.

I hate people in the left lane who go 5miles under the posted speed
limit.
I also hate people who don't use their blinkers . IS THE FUCKING BLINKER
SO FAR FROM YOUR LEFT HAND????? I've noticed mostly rich a-holes do it.

I once got a ticket for looking hot. Ok I made that up. Lick me
