Radar Detectors

Does anyone have one for their car? Or have a recommendation? I don't necessarily speed a whole lot, or drive completely wrecklessly, I just like knowing when a cop is following me, especially late at nights. I know a few friends who will have cops ride their butt, and then when they speed to sort of "give themselves some distance" the cop flicks on their lights. Dirty trick that I want to win at.

Yes, I most definitely have a radar detector. I had to get one since I got a couple of speeding tickets and had 8 points against my license. You only have to 12 in W.V. and then they take your license for a while.

So the one that I have and the one that I recommend is the Passport Escort. There are several different models of them now, but I have had mine for about 2 years and I gave about $250 for mine and it has paid for itself many times over.

Here is what it looks like.

I'm glad we fought against her,
I only wish we'd won.
I ain't asking any pardon for anything we've done.

Yeah, the only state I know of that they are illegal in around here is Virginia.

I'm sure they are illegal in some other states too though.

I know they are legal in Rhode Island and maybe Blitz can help me out on this one but I believe they are illegal in Connecticut.

I never go the speed limit. I have a bad habit of driving about 75-80 MPH most of the time.

I usually don't go over 10 mph of the speed limit only because I don't see the point in speeding. I do have one speeding ticket to my name for going 70 in a 55 and that was when I was passing people who were probably going 55 so it looked like I was going 90.

The fastest I ever got caught going was 81 in a 65. I didn't get a ticket for that one though.

The most expensive ticket I ever got was for doing 73 in a 55 and it cost me $169.00 and 5 points off of my license. Ouch.
