funny I've been driving cautiously since I have been without my lazer detection for a few days after the clip broke holding my v1 to the windshield. The K and Ka still work though.

these speed sensor things are all over Europe. I think Austria has really cracked down Road & Track attempted a road test and said the speed sensing cameras prevented them from going all out on a nice twisty road with one car.

I kind of like this concept. If you are going to sincerely try and get people to drive slower then this is the way. Setting an artificialy high speed limit and then arbitrarily picking people off never gets anything accomplished. People keep on doing 90mph in minivans. It's a very flagrant cover to just rake in more municipal funds.

yeah always fight your tickets. I've done it many many times. They don't even put up a fight just ask me for more dough and tell me they'll drop the points. SOLD.

now where to get that license plate spray...

My two cents:

1. I was speeding...I got caught. I just think I should be caught by a cop sitting there on the side of the road and face the whole accuser thing.

2. I have a good radar detector. This thing does not work on radar.

3. With no signs being posted....what if I drove that road for two weeks straight and didn't get any tickets because I don't live there and when I get home there is 14 speeding tickets waiting for me?

4. Finallly, I got caught. In reality, all I have to do is take a class and it gets expunged, I don't have to pay the ticket and my insurance even goes down. I just don't like being caught by a box with no warning. I also think deer hunting should be accomplished with bare hands...give the hunted a chance.

Mnboxster,

Im not sure how to quote your statements but, I dont believe a photo speed enforcement system makes a cops life any easier. As a matter of fact I know quite a few that absolutely cant stand that system. Its stupid comments like "so they can get to a donut shop an hour earlier" that just irritate me to no end. You have TRULY shown your ignorance and I will refrain from responding to your replys on this topic.
You said,"I did sucessfully argue two of them in court though." and you have no idea how radar works? Flag on the play Jim.
