Speeking of Michigan laws, are radar detectors of any kind illegal here? I'm assuming that you have one silversvtE1...which one do you use?
Not illeagal in MI. Only Canada (remember to take it down or it will be confiscated), Washington DC, and Virginia.
I have an old cheap one in another car that i don't really use. I used to have a nice Escort cordless, but found out I relied on it too much. I would cruise at 90mph on expressways and not pay attention to visual speed traps and still got caught a couple times. I got rid of the cordless one 3 years ago and have only gotten speeding ticket since. I keep it set cruise at 10mph over on highway and keep a watch out.
However triple digit speeds are really no nig deal. It traffic is crusing at 80-90mph as usual, another 10-20 is no big deal on freeway. Heck, I've hit the speed limiter at 103 in my F-150. I've also hit 135 in the SVT on a stretch of I-75 without other cars around and without a radar detector.
