Default If you had told the cop your detector was in the glovebox, he may have

laughed so hard he would have forgotten to give you a ticket. . . happened to a friend once.

Default Have given your idea some thought myself in terms of monitoring

your car while left in a parking lot. . wouldn't we all love to nail the idiot that opens their door into your car and then drives off?

Default I have thought the same. Is the race on? Anyone know who has the specs?

It would also be nice to get a couple of those crazies that run red lights off the road. I witnessed one yesterday and I thought the guy in front of me was going to be killed. Lucky for him the other driver (that ran the light) performed a very harsh swerve to avoid him. Both cars were going about 30-40 and he would have been broad sided. The guy in front of me did not seem him and when I saw him it was too late to beep..., but that have taken his eye back to me and it could have been worse.

Hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings.

Default Atlanta City Cops got me two weeks ago....

on way to Best Buy for XM installation and I just finally got the cost of ticket ( kept getting disconnected from the wonderful automated court thing )...are you ready.....166 "expletive dollars". Transition speed zone with 45 MPH zone about 3 blocks from where I was ticketed. As posted before the XM got expensive with the battery replacment issue but I was expecting about an $85 speeding ticket not $166. What a RIP off!

Default I was stopped a few years back in the Corvette on the Pa. Tpk

and the cop actually asked why I didnt have a radar detector! I told him that I didnt believe in them(yea, right!) and he let me go. I guess you could use that story as long as you dont get stopped twice by the same cop!

Default Stop in next time you make that trip.

I'm in QC area.

Are you using a detector or any kind?
