I personally like the newer escorts. A bit on the high end, but worth it..

Be carefull because some states make it legal for cops to take your scanner away from you if you get pulled over! In West Virginia (or is it Virginia?) they will take it and destroy it right in front of you!! Don't try to stop them either! They will arrest you and put you right in jail!

Good rule of thumb is 5 mph bump or traffic speed.

True

Without a detector

But 10 mph with one is nice

Its a little difficult for me not to speed specially since theres alot of racers in my area. Ive slow down a bit but theres times that ppl that own camaros pull up next to me and start reving up there engines. Its difficult to not want to take off

I don't like to be passed. Unless its some jack off driving like a maniac. The highway is a long haul race and when I get where I'm going I will have passed everyone and not been passed by everyone.

I have Cobra XRS 9940. Cost me less than $200 and the only ticket I've gotten is when I was an idiot and did a burnout across a four way, totally ignoring the beeps. Needless to say there was an officer to the right of me. He gave me a ticket but made it a 'accelerating with the intent to spin tires' So I didn't get a C'and'I, he told me it was an awesome burnout

You need to relax. I don't care if someone passes me or comes into my lane. The only problem I have is when there's nowhere to go in front of me and you're trying to come from behind me to get in front of me. That's not happening ever.

This is true. I drove 120 miles today and 90 miles of it was two lane highway. And the oilfield truck traffic was terrible. I wanted to scream. I was driving the land yacht full of kids so I had to be mr safe guy.

You're thinking there is more that one lane

99% of the time here on BFE it's two lane highway

Well wouldn't that mean you need to relax even more? Since there's really nowhere to go. lol

That's why the way you get there is funner than actually getting there.
