Ok, first off this post isn't about mad speeding or anything. I'm just getting sick of speeding tickets. I don't get them that often, but when I do, they're really frustrating. Now that I'm getting a car that attracts attention, I'm fearing more tickets.
No, no, no, I know what you're going to say, "just slow down." I do. I usually drive pretty mildly. A couple weeks ago I was driving along with traffic, minding my own business, when I get pulled over -- 69 in a 50. I had no idea I was speeding, I was just going with the flow. The cop was real nice about it... still burns, though.
So I'm considering a radar detector, but I've never had one before, so I'm not sure what to expect realistically for performance. I really don't want something that goes off every minute -- is this something I should expect? How's the level of radar detector technology today?
And please, I'm not trying to use this as a license to speed. I just want something to look out for me when I accidently drift a little over. Please no preaching posts, I'm just wondering what peoples' real experiences are with radar detectors
