The irony is all were for speeds under 65. Bigger irony: I only really need my Valentine One when I turn off the highway and go on the local roads. These are full of local small town cops who love to pull over Porsches. I strictly follow the speed limit here as I don't need the hassle of showing up to court or thanking the cop for "only" giving me a $60 seat belt ticket.

Seat belt? How do you defeat the audible alarm? Never stops. Guess it's safer anyway...

So, with radar, what is the defense? Calibration? Last car in pack with other cars pulling away? False reading from this shape of car? Singled out for car type? Spedo didn't actually say that speed?

I have no doubt not only was I over, but I had been way farther over on the interstate! I certainly am glad to pay the fine, but it's the points.

40 in a wide, winding country road feels absurdly slow in this car.

Illinois State Police rarely pull you over, unless you are traveling 20+ over. Different story in South East Wisconsin...I'm usually no more than 6-8 over the posted limit.

Was clocked at 78mph in a 55 zone heading back from Road America a couple years back after passing a slow moving vehicle...got a warning; as luck would have it, I was in my Grand Cherokee.

When I went travelling to OKC, I knew they were changing the speed limit in Illinois so I was hoping my return trip would be faster. Alas... they didn't get the signs up by Jan. 2.

Just go to Traffic School. Old guy with the 'stche is funny. He polls the "class" asking where they got caught and then tells you where the cops sit.

It really is all about the money. Period. Get a lawyer, you pay them, they cut a deal with local law enforcement, you walk away usuallly paying less $$ overall with no hurt, no foul, see ya next time! Chalk it up to cost of doing business.
