are radar detectors legal in ur area? if so and u dont have one, you better get one. i have a cobra xrs 1100 and it hasnt let me down. paid ~$150 for it a few years ago. the more you can afford, the better off you'll be.
true just about everyone speeds to some degree. but more so the 18-24 y/o demographic. plus, cops are tipped off by certain cars. civics are usually #1 on their list
but we're climbing that list fast (no pun intended
). some tips i can give include:
- Speed with a crowd of cars cuz cops are less likely to go after 2 or more people (although they can if they are that good)
- Don't be in first or last in that crowd cuz you're an easier target
- Don't ride in the passing lane if you're not passing anyone (a personal peeve of mine)
- Learn the hiding spots of areas you frequently drive thru: highway medians, behind overpasses, in a ditch, or any other conspicuous place
- Put your windows down if you see them before they see you - if they stop you anyway and ask why your windows are down, tell them you farted
and lastly...
- Don't resent the cops cuz they stopped you. Their intention (most of the time) is to protect the public. There are a small percentage of drivers out there who are routinely being dicks to cops and driving reckless and drunk all hours of the night. They mess it up for all of us. Just deal with it.
by the way, i know a lot of this cuz a lot of my friends are cops (including a deputy chief of police) or studying criminal justice. i hope that gives me some credibility.
Peace!
