You just proved to me that common sense just isnt that common anymore.
Just cause it's a 2.4 you can't drive it like a sports car? How many times have you seen a bone stock civic speeding, I guess they aren't driving like it was meant to be then right? Let me go tell the H2 Hummer I smoked he shouldn't have been racing me then. I love people that are one sided and think they can say some dumb ass thing "You just proved to me that common sense just isnt that common anymore" and think they own the world.

dont u guys know by now where you can and cannot speed????? and just a little hint to everyone: you are most vulerable at being busted for speeding by an oncoming cop. Their radar points at oncoming traffic. (and trust me, by the time you see him, it's too late)

That's why a radar detector is worhtless I think, it's way too late to slow down, and if you do slow down you have to so fast it atracts to cops attention anyways. Good lesson though, don't punch it unless you are familiar with the area and know where cops hang out. But true, speeding still isn't right, I'm trying to cut back! at me!

i've never gotten a speeding ticket. i did once get pulled over for peeling out in first and then chirping second, but i just told the officer lady that i was new to driving manual and she let me off with a warning. i'm sure my charm and rediculously good looks helped me get away scott free

If it was me, I'd prolly just speed up and swerve off the road into a pillar or light poll, something big thats really heavy leaving me 0% chance of survival.

At my old job our patrol cars had front and year radar. Not sure how long thats been around, i think the systems were about 2,200 for each car. But we could get'em going towards us from the front or back, or coming towards us from the rear / going away from us in rear. as long as we were mobile also. we also had radar guns for stationary / side to side radaring.

When you speed, you eventually get busted. That was pretty fast for the posted limit. I'd say count your blessings. Six demerits and $350 is a slap on the wrist for that offence. I hope you still are in training come tomorrow.

My Sixth Sense is Cops. If you mention henderhoads to there wife you can watch there crotch spew in a mountain of goodness flowing for yours truely!

I sold my radar detector because I got in trouble with it more then I didn't. Cops would make a point to pull me over just to say I have a radar detector (it's not illegal in Michigan) and get all huffy about. I finally got sick and tired of the attention it brought and the stupid thing was mounted in a conspicious place too.

Personally, if you don't like the attention... Drive the speed Limit
