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.
