Comments on: Avoid Speeding Tickets: The Value Of A Good Radar Detector http://blog.motorists.org/value-good-radar-detector/ News For Drivers Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:10:34 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jokes on you http://blog.motorists.org/value-good-radar-detector/comment-page-1/#comment-15397 jokes on you Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:47:55 +0000 http://www.motorists.org/blog/?p=695#comment-15397 Then the jokes on you randy, you obviously never read the fines associated with traffic offenses in states that implement these BS "driver responsibiluty" laws. You can EASILY be fined $300-2,000 for such idiotic things as not having proper insurance papers in your glovebox. That's right, $150 for 2 years for stupid paperwork, even when the damn idiot officers know you have insurance because it shows up on their computer terminal when then run your plate. The state where the law of the land was born over 200 years ago, said FU to their legislators and lopped off their heads in recalls, and got their law repealed after 1 year. Not only was it a debtors prison trap, but a revenue scheme for one of the leaders whose brother was a traffic ticket lawyer. Too bad other states don't have the penises to do what Virginians did. TX, NY, MI, NJ, are all worse off for this law. Harvard educated my ass. They're all idiot lawyers/businessmen who've run this country bankrupt. Some 1st class education system.

I have saved a lot of time by going 5-10 mph over the posted speed limit. Randy, YOU OFFEND ME! I'll bet Randy is the type of guy who lives in the left lane clogging up traffic in his 4 wheel vehicle. This is called being a left lane hog Randy and it slows down traffic, decreases fuel mileage due to the hitting of the break pedal and speeding back up, and creates road rage! And school zones being brought up is just a ploy by you to find a way to get back at us hard working people. No one promotes speeding in school zones on here, but we may see a police officer patroling the school zone during certain hours. Not all of us use a radar detector for the sole purpose of speeding. Have you ever thought some of us are "gadget enthusiasts" that like to see a gadget go off every now and then and know how to avoid a gadget while going thru traffic or in a high false alarm area? Remember, gadgets do include cell phones, stereo systems, VCR's, DVD players,etc Randy. I am just tired of people infringing upon OUR rights as Americans and Canadians to enjoy a gadget instead of going out and doing drugs or murdering another individual or even scamming someone else. A radar detector is by no means promoting killing another individual while on the road, GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! LIES,LIES, AND MORE LIES! Next thing you know, a guy like Randy is going to attempt to take the manual shift vehicle I drive, away from me and force me to drive an automatic shift. Not that automatic shifts are bad because they aren't, my mother owns one. But if I prefer a manual shift vehicle, then I am going to have one w/ out asking some Randy guy if it's ok. And if you didn't know, police officers are being threatened to write tickets for the smallest of things nowadays just to make revenue for the govt's.

Deaths went down because we increased our speeds? You are an idiot to think that. I was on the highway after work today and it made me think how many people on this site state that the US is less safe than Germany because they have higher speed limits and speeds. I think many on the highway this afternoon would be in jail in Germany for driving the way they were here. There was a group of 5 or 6 cars all behind each other driving 70 to 75 mph and all within 1 second distance of each other. Call it tailgating to the first degree. They would have been prosecuted in Germany for such poor driving. No wonder we have so many more accidents and death rates than they do.

I can see where you would get upset about getting an $850 ticket but I would think that would have to be in the order of reckless driving not a 10 mph over the limit ticket. If I were to be in an area to get an $850 ticket you can bet I would be following the law and about everyone else also. Robert A Yeldon where is it that tickets are $850?

You say the death rate went down because we increased speeds and limits. You and others here are ignorant of course of the facts that if we drove the same cars and on the same roads as we did in the early 80s the fatailty rate would be up tremendously. Cars are designed better and seatbelts are required in most all states and air bags and many road hazards were removed. With all of those changes our fatality rate should have went to less than half from what it was. Statistics have to go along with facts to make any sense. As far as unlimited speeds go I can name many interstate sections where you would kill yourself driving 120 mph. YOu also have to remember that Germany enforces reckless driving and drunk driving. Both of which causes many accidents in the US. Just the other day I had a truck driving about 2 car lengths behind me going 55 mph. If I would have slowed down for anything he would have been in my bumper. I could not go any faster if I wanted to because of cars in front of me. Go ahead and have more instuction for drivers because it is obvious that many need it and many from this site do. They are more worried about being one of the fastest drivers on the road rather than worry about anyone else on the road. Another poster on this site was saying that the speed limit should be moved up to in his example 70 mph because that is what traffic was flowing at. I then asked him if people should get ticketed if they are doing well over that new set speed and he said no. It is not about setting the speed limits correctly for the road but the ability people want to break any of the laws and get away with it. I also was driving in the early 80s and places where I drove there were not that many more tickets given than what are given out now. Everyone knew what speed they were able to drive at and drove at that speed ticket free. MW you make many points and on many of them you are wrong.

They are not accurate and they don't really do anything expecte raise revenue and force drivers to cocnstantly watch their speedometer rather than concentrate on the road ahead and what is going on around them. I found some interesting information on http://bit.ly/Y59uH that may be of use to readers if they get pinged. Actually you should read it BEFORE you get a ticket.

You must live in California or some other very large city. There are only 2 lanes on the majority of highways that I ever drive with rare places having 3 lanes. I have to ask you how many miles do you drive each day? For the most part people only drive less than 20 miles anywhere on a daily basis to work or other things. I think once I heard a lot less than that. If that is the case for most people why do you have to drive 10 to 20 mph over any limit? How much time do you actually think you are saving?

You brought up that maybe 120 mph was too fast. Is 100 mph fine then? You were the one that brought up the excessive speeds. As far as going well over the limit in a shcool zone some on here say it is fine to do. Ask Randall. Ok Arif you did not state your position. You brought up that maybe 120 mph was too fast.
