My sister (when i was in the car) got a ticket for speeding, being the second fastest car... The cop said (and i quote) "so you were just following that other guy?, well, i didn't think i could catch him" and then he walked back to his car to write my sister the ticket... what kind of law inforcement is that??

My thoughts exactly, at least in a 5 speed people have to shift to start speeding, with these automatics, its just all fun and nice, and then you look down to 80-90mph like, "oh, was that me" |

my only advice is to keep you eyes peeled and figure out the hiding spots. always watch the off-ramps behind you.
if i EVER get caught i give everyone full permission to flame my busted arse.

Ive gotten more speeding tickets in my mom's jeep cherokee then in my RX-7, and the SVX. None in either sports car. Go figure. RX-7 was a beast til 162 then it slowed down considerably.
Nitto 555R's all around on that tho.... |

I've never owned a radar detector and I've never had a speeding ticket in the SVX. It's not for lack of trying, either, despite my earlier beratement of NikFu... But in the past few years I have definitely adopted the 'don't get noticed' philosophy. My last speeding ticket was in early '98. I deserved it. I'll deserve the next one I get, but hopefully I can keep myself within that 'inconspicuous' envelope so I don't get one.

It's saved my butt several times in smaller towns. Seems the "local yokels" get "hand-me-downs" that still register. So, despite the ones I HAVE gotten, the detector does help . . . a little bit.

Looking back at those 37 years behind the wheel I will make one thing crystal clear:
I Never Got a Speeding Ticket I Didn't Deserve!! Glenn

Yep... I'd have to agree with that... I have never gotten a speeding ticket that I didn't deserve... I have deserved many that I hadn't gotten though
