I used to own and drive some pretty fast cars, and get tickets

Someone once told me that Radar Guns had a problem with rapid changes in speed, so hammering on your brakes before they get a radar speed reading screws them up

I have given up fast cars in favour of fast boats now, so I don't have to worry about being pulled over for speeding http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif

Not true. The guns don't have any problem, but if the cop is new, he may get confused enough to question it... meaning, not pulling you over. Troopers that have been around a while, know exactly what's going on. They've seen thousands of people slam on their brakes... it's usually the first reaction.

But as far as the guns, it's just a momentary switch on the dash. Flipped once, and it captures your speed. In the blink of an eye. Kinda like a camera. There's really no fooling it. This is why, if you ask to see the reading, most will gladly show you. And no.... don't get all hostile and demand it... because he doesn't HAVE to show you a damn thing. Be nice, and he may.

Well, don't go to Poland when you're driving a new mercedes ... the cops there like them very much.

My dad owns a small factory in Poland and when he drives there with the mercedes, he gets tailed by the cops and they keep driving behind him in their old Skoda's until he makes "mistake" ... if you don't bribe them ($20 is way enough there LOL) you can follow them to the main police office (often a 2 hour trip) to pay the little fee there ...

He gets pulled over like 3-4 times before he reaches to german border to get back to belgium hehe (always expensive trips tho http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif)

Come to germany, go to the Autobahn and stop fussing around...
I LOVE NO SPEED LIMIT :-)

The problem is within the cities... They park their fuckin' undercover cars everywhere to get nice photos... In the last two months I got 2 tickets... DAMN!
Also, in germany scanners are not allowed and when they get u using one you're fucked - pay over 80? (yes since yesterday we got that ...hmmm... strange currency) and maybe lose your license...
But Autobahn is still great. Sometimes there are a bit too much traffic jams, but it's still fun. Sometimes after driving around the cities for some weeks i need to go to the Autobahn just to drive my car at full speed - i'm drivin' much smarter in the cities after this...

I can't be responsible for the criminal acts of police in 3rd world countries. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/smile.gif

There is only one SURE FIRE way not to get a ticket...don't speed.

Period.

I used to drive professionally for a courier service shuttling rich guys cars and a ticket would have ended my job. I had to drive some hot cars too...but I never once got pulled over in over two years.

However, the cop-catcher method works well. Find another guy who's hauling ass and tail him about a quarter mile back.

I was driving from San Fran to Hell A in my buddies' S2000 and this crazy looking guy in an old M5 passed me going about a buck 25. I followed him a few hundred yards back and drove for like two hours at that pace until about a zillion CHP officers jumped on the guy heding the last 25 miles into LA.

I cruised right by...heh heh.

There's no speed limit on most parts of the highway in Germany ... but at the spots where they do have a speed limit, you better watch out cos if they catch you speeding there, they'll make you pay BIG time.

"They may be illegal, but try being a cop that doesn't find something to issue a ticket for in a month and see how long you last...""
Thats true.I have/had 4 friends who were cops,they all admited it.

They do that in Texas too. The radar on the side of the road will snap a picture of your liscence plate, and they mail you the picture of you speeding along with the ticket.

So I mailed them back a picture of $150. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif

Well I can tell you fro holland, don't speed too much over here. On the highway where I live there are about 7 points where they measure your speed. But if you know where they are you can hit the brake just before it http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/smile.gif. Oh and for germany, I was doing a nice 200km/h and it was like i was standing still.

You were, Bro, I do that on the way to the office.

Hehe I know the feeling http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/wink.gif It's kinda funny when you're driving 220km/h with a big mercedes and some kid with an old powered-up VW golf is on your tail flashing his lights to move out of the way http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif

I heard a story that some dude was pulled over, and when he stopped he got out yelling to the cop that his wife's having a baby. The cop told him to follow him to the hospital, which he did, with the police car lights flashing and everything. When he got to the hospital the guy didn't even shut off the car or close his door, he just ran to go inside. The cop said, "aren't you going to help your wife?". He guy said, "she's already in the hospital having her baby!"

I guess this tactic would work.
