Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Official Passport 8500 X50 radar group buy!!

Well I'm not really complaining. If people are going to come on here and say the radar detector saved their ass 12 times on one drive, then you have to question whether they were saved 12 times by the radar detector or if they're making it all up to seem cool. If they really did go blazing down a road that they know has cops all over it, then they're driving like idiots. And that was my point.

I have the radar detector to keep me aware of speed monitors. That doesn't mean I go blazing down every road at full throttle because I have the radar detector to tell me where all the cops are. It's mainly for interstate driving, so that lone cop can't pick me off with his radar. I won't speed through known areas of speed traps because I know the cops use techniques that the radar detector can't make you aware of.

And yes, I do like to "just argue" whenever the chance arises.

I think you just want to argue.

i think this all can be settled if you take a nice drive dwon 95..
i am sure you'll love it..

btw this is a group buy and we were just coming back to post a happy report...so i think you should quit with the random midwest insight

Btw cops tend to hide in bushes (no jk)
and you can't exactly memorize all of the positions...as they change constantly..
i am starting to think that ppl in nebraska drive 55mph and dont have more than 1 cop of all of their highways..

If you take a long trip, you usually see a lot of cops. I don't see it unusual for seeing 12 cops roundtrip to another state and back.

I (and I'm guessing most everyone else on here) doesn't go speeding around on every road. I do however go fast when ever conditions permit. And I do go "blazing" when I really have to get some where and it's really safe, still need the radar detector to do this though. I'm sure most people don't speed through known speed traps, but I believe they were just saying there are a lotta cops on a certain road, not necessarily speed traps that are always in the same area.

I like to argue too, but I normally try to argue with a decent point in mind and fully understand other people's positions.

shhhhhhhhhhh..
we are playing the quiet game..

I'd really hate to lock this.


ouch, what is the deadline?

Davo, seeing 12 cops doing speed checks on a long trip in the Northeast is not unusual. I had 4 speed traps while on my 25 mile commute to work on Monday. In the Philly area, the top speed limit on the highways is a measly 55mph while most of Nebraska is 75. The cops love to enforce it. Try driving 55 on a highway in Nebraska and those crazy truckers will run you off the road.

I drove from Philly to Denver and on that trip I encounted like 5 speed traps on the PA Turnpike ( speed limit heavily enforced at 65mph) and a couple in Ohio. I didn't see one cop in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska or Colorado.

You think I can still call this guy?
