This is the STUPIDIST post I think I've ever read...
1) You only get speeding tickets on freeways/interstates/highways if you are not being careful. a) slow down before going by an underpass b) if you are going up a slight incline and can't see over the horizon slow down until you have leveled out or until your line of sight is further c) slow down before passing any gaps in the barrier between the lanes (what is that called again???).
Only if you are not being careful? NO...only if you aren't speeding. Police officers generally give leeway of 10-15 mph. What about the police officers who sit on the side of the freeway at a business where he can't be easily seen? Oh yea...
DON'T SPEED!!! 2) When driving in town, very cautious during commuter hours and evenings. Be VERY cautious on Friday and Saturday nights. Don't take any big risks ecspecially in towns you are not familiar with. If you are in an out-of-state location, also be careful, because cops will target you. It's best to take it easy in town and not triple the speed limit to pass the Dodge Caravan before the road merges 500 feet ahead. A safe time to speed is during church on Sunday morning.
Don't speed would be the response to this one too...During commuter hours is like the easiest time to speed because due to the amount of traffic, it is harder for a police officer to actually get on the road, then again, it is extremly dangerous to speed in traffic...moral?
Don't speed...
3) GET A RADAR DETECTOR/JAMMER!!! Anyone who can sleep well after spending 300 dollars on custom Ford racing floor mats (which I'm sure some of you are guilty of ), should be able to cough up 60-200 dollars for a good radar detector by Cobra or Viper. If you are willing to spend in the 300 dollar neighborhood, get the new Phantom II. It detects and jams radar of many sorts, and the manufactuer will even pay for any speeding tickets you get in the first year of owning it. But as I said, even a cheaper detector like a Cobra for 60 bucks will keep you safe.
Don't waste your money on radar detectors. All departments (if they don't have them yet) are getting instant-on radar. The gun doesn't turn on or send out a signal until you press the button, at which point the radar detector alerts the vehicle operator that their speed has just been clocked. That's how it works now.
Trust me in that if I want to get someone speeding, I can do it regardless if they have a detector, jammer, what have you.
Again, just
DON'T SPEED!! This was from a police officer from New York.
4) Again, don't speed...
5) Why would you challenge it if you are guilty of it? Take defensive driving and keep it off your record...
Those are just some things I've kind of picked up from my years as a fast driver. Please share advice with me or your strategies. I'm all about not getting pulled over. Remember, cops are not our friends. They are different from you and me. The are the secret police of East Germany, the Gestapos of the Nazi empire, the...well you get the point. If we weren't supposed to speed, they wouldn't have given us small sedans with V6's in them. Good luck
The cops
are your friends. If you BREAK THE LAW then you deserve to get busted. I can't believe you would even place a police officer in the same realm as a Nazi.
And you aren't supposed to speed. The automakers and the government just give you some freedom on how to drive, and they give the responsibility to you instead of giving us all cars that can only go 60.
