Rather than once again receiving a bunch of sweaters for the holidays that I don't need, I have asked my extended family to pool their resources to get me a radar detector. For once, they all agreed on something. I am looking for recommendations to make sure that they get a good one, and certainly not a bad one. I'd appreciate your thoughts about what to tell them to get and what to avoid.
Thanks. |

Happened to me in Kansas on my way to the Fall Foliage Classic, 9 PM, in the middle of nowhere, the peace officer was in front of me, traveling the same direction as I. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) He was driving a black Camaro, I was running a radar detector (old Whistler, borowed from a pal for the trip) . The detector made two single blips, he lit his "cop lights", pulled slightly right, let me pass him and he had me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) He "ran" my Arizona plates, asked where I was headed and issued me a "warning". He was a highly professional officer, and I could kinda tell from the encounter that he was "mic'ed" as well, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) , video from his crusier too, I bet. As I pulled over to the shoulder, I had noticed some good sized "road hazards" directly in front of me, that I tried to make a mental note of, for my exit. He noticed the debris, and very kindly move the objects out of the way for me to split, nice fella. He also said he noticed I was running a radar detector and that "it would only get me in trouble", perhaps they are illegal in Kansas or was he commenting about a "false sense of security" from the radar detector? I did not stay around to inquire. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) John P.S. 77 in a 65, out in the middle of thousands of corn and wheat fields.... the spot was so remote that for the time I was detained, I don't recall even a single car going by. Folks seem to drive a lot slower "back east", in AZ I might have been commended for such "restraint". |
