Ka is detectable miles away down the road.
But once they paint you with laser your a$-$ is nailed.
I can't get off the cruise fast enough when the detector starts blastin.
And they got me.
A wop-n 82 n a 70...
Lazy a$-$ cop, too lazy to wait for a bigger fish. That's small town Jennings La for ya.
"Drive safe"
As if 82 is unsafe.
They used to say "slow it down" as they handed you your license back......now they say drive safe like you just left the burger king drive thru.
They know damn well I'll be back up to 82 before I get out of 3rd gear.... |

It is an almost universal leeway cops will give of 10%. So if the speed limit is 70, they almost ignore anything below 77. School zones, fire stations, and others sensitive areas, not so much leniency there. |

unless you drive cross country for a living you don't save that much time.
70 mph = 1.17 miles per minute
82 mph = 1.37 miles per minute
Unless you're driving hundreds of miles the amount of time you save aren't worth the fine.

209 miles.
I can be from the Galveston ferry landing to my front door in exactly 3hrs.
Doing 82. Locked in on cruise. Like I've done for the last 10 years straight for 26 weeks every year.....both ways.
I turn what should be a 4hr drive into 3.
And if you get in my way, I'll run you right the F-over.

Classic D-bag American attitude. 'It's my road, you're lucky I allow you to be on it at all.' Entitlement in it's purest sense. Please try to get over yourself and remember that there are other people you are *sharing* the road with. Yes, the word share from your toddler age. |

209/82=2.55=2hrs 33 min.
209/70=2.99=3 hrs
Obviously you can't do the whole trip at 70/82 mph, so the difference is going to be less since part of the trip will be at comparable speeds (25/35/45 etc).

do the math 209/70 is 2.98 hours, 209/82 is 2.55 hours. You saved 25 minutes, was that worth the ticket? |

And in most road environments the car that blasted past at a great rate of knots winds up at all the same stop lights with ya, at the same time. Speeding is a waste of effort, gas, and etc. |

Driving faster gets you there sooner, but it comes at the cost of an occasional ticket.

Add to it the ticketing process taking 20-30 minutes even if your license, insurance, registration, and vehicle are in good order. If you factor that in, any time you might have saved is eaten up while you are detained awaiting your ticket. |

At 12 over, you are waving an "I want a ticket" sign. Unless the rest of the traffic around you is at the same speed, you are making yourself a ticket target to a cop. I don't even want the hassle of 1 ticket. I guess others have more tolerance for ticket risk. |

"Limit + 9" on the Interstate and you will NEVER get a ticket. School zone? Different story. Why tempt fate with "limit + 12?" Seems unwise. |

radar/lazer detecters are worthless.....but check the paperwork from it cause some companies used to say they would pay your ticket if one was received using their product. |

But Ka detection has kept me ticket free for 10 years.
Had probably 50 close calls that were Ka.
That detector has more than paid for itself in tickets saved and off time not spent on a road.
But now with Johnny Law upgrading to Laser and more and more jurisdictions phasin out the Ka for higher tech Laser.....
I may have to start slowing down.
Or find a new job. A local job. |

Well several things actually

Early retirement
The demise of westernized women and Feminists
Democrats rounded up and keel hauled till they are all drowned like the rats they are
A stock market crash the likes of 1929

People you disagree with, your tactics have been to accuse them of any number of alleged character flaws. But all of those accusations lost all their impact because you overused them when they were totally inappropriate. Also, as is always the case, you were actually guilty of what you were accusing. So now you are substituting the word maga, whatever that is. And you are using the same tactics. I would offer to predict what kind of results you will have with your worn out tactic, but that prediction would be no news to you. |

Very simple. Just don't lead the pack. Find someone exceeding the limit (a rabbit) and follow him a few car lengths behind. Watch for his brake lights, esp at the top of overpasses or hills. Your alarm will will sound when he gets lit up and you should have time to slow down before they reset. |
