a state trooper who was driving around the local roads followed me as I went onto the state Parkway. My top was down and he was tail gating. And kept following.
I'd already muted the device the minute I saw him following me. This went on for about five minutes. He gets on his speaker and says "Porsche guy, radar detectors make you look guilty." and sped away.
I guess they hate it when we know that they're watching us.
I think you have to be nuts to be driving a flashy car without a radar detector.
You don't have to be going fast to get a speeding ticket and have to waste a day going to court to fight a ticket that gets settled down to no seat-belt 9 times out 10. All it takes is going five miles over the limit and they got an excuse to TRY to mess up your clean record. Strnage thing is that since going through high perfomance driving instruction and doing a few season of autocross my desire to ever go more than 10 miles over the limit vanished. I realized there are too many poor drivers on the road to justify not giving myself at least two car lengths and even if I clear road ahead some jerkoff can just as easily try and jump in front of me on the fast lane. The roads have be pretty close to empty for me to go fast.
