Tips on how to Speed, I wanna go fast.
 

I'm going to start going to Mayetta KS (just north of Topeka) once a week or so for some stuff. The highways there are pretty desolate, and going 90mph instead of 74 mph could lower my commute by almost a half an hour.

Any tips or scanners to use to avoid or locate the police using radar? With todays technologies & up to the minute information is it possible to significantly lower your risk of getting a ticket?

I usually drive like an old man, and whenever I do speed I get nailed. But then I see these people going 20 mph faster than me that never seem to get any tickets. Wondering if there is a trick I'm missing out on

1) Mash down on this....

2) pray

Leave home 30 minutes earlier and not speed?

Not an option. I wanna go fast.

Try chugging Antifreeze first

1. Anywhere east of Hays is NOT desolate.

2. Don't do it. You'll get the butt****ing.

Study headlights and watch your rear view just as much. Floor it when you can see for forever.

It's a courtesy notification for a ticket if they are using the laser, but it will let you know if they are using radar or if there are cops moving on the road around you (rolling radar sets it off).

Learn where the cops sit usually. They have their "berry patches" were they will normally sit because they can write a lot of tickets without having to move much.

If you're not concerned with breaking laws, look into laser shifters and the proper way to use them.

I already tried that but for some reason I had to go to the doctor and they pumped my stomach. :cuss::cuss:

Try MOAR

I bought what I thought was a decent detector a while back, but it was far more annoying than helpful with all the false alarms.

I pay close attention, but am also pretty lucky that I haven't had a ticket in years.

You can lock out false alarms with the 9500ix. :thumb:

You can't. This was explained to me by the C.E.O of Belltronics, a major player in the radar scanner industry. They donated a $2,000 system to one of our project builds, it has radar scanners at multiple points on the car etc. Pretty trick system, we simply had to throw their name on the car.

Yea, the problem is most police departments use laser for speeding tickets/revenue generation.

Laser/Radar detectors have a hard time picking them up due to their instant on and narrow beam width. The only thing that can beat the laser is a laser shifter which are illegal in almost every state. If you're smart with them, then you can use them (I don't own a shifter system) and not get caught.

Lasers do have draw backs for law enforcement though. The angle that they have to use them is much smaller than radar (pretty much straight on and there has to be a certain distance). They also can't use them anytime it's raining or foggy (any precipitation in the air).

The Escort Passport is the best IMO. Nothing beats instant on though. Your fuel mileage is going to be half or close to it running 90 MPH.

Are you familiar with an app called "Trapster"

Just another tool.

What are you going to be driving?

This sounds awfully suspicious.
Anyone giving him tips will be an accessory to human trafficking or whatever he's up to.

I would suggest going to your public library and checking out several books on tape that you like. Don't speed and enjoy your time to brush up on some "reading". The time will seem to go faster and if you are into your selection-you will look forward to your safe a legal commute.

Don' forget to buckle up!! Click it or Ticket!!

Why are your ideas always terrible?

Here's an idea: don't drive like an asshole.

CONVOY!

This x2 I've got the 9500ix with gps and updates had it two years I have an hr and 20 a min drive twice a week across desolate areas it will pick up radar almost two miles away. It doesn't make you bullet proof but it sure helps.

Not really, the expense of laser means that there are still a lot more radar than lasers in use.

Correct that all a laser detector does is tell you that you have been illuminated.
I assume by “shifter” you’re talking about a laser jammer? Most use an IR illuminator bar in the grill and/or along the back that flashes when a laser signal is detected confusing the laser sensor. These are effective, hard to defeat and illegal.

Incorrect, both radar and laser need to be in line with the direction of travel of the vehicle and both will have a similar cosine effect that depends on the line of sight angle to the direction of travel. The cosine effect means that the measured speed will be less than the vehicles actual speed, the greater the angle the lower the speed reading.

Correct in that anything that will interfere with light will interfere with a laser, you can throw dust in there too, but it doesn’t render them ineffective it just reduces their effective range depending on how hard it is raining or how dense the fog is.
Another limitation of laser is that the effective range, depending on the size of the vehicle, is only around 2000-5000 or more feet so you have a chance of seeing the officer tracking traffic before your vehicle is illuminated. The effective range of radar can be over 3 miles, depending on vehicle size and terrain.

I got pulled over and given a warning for doing 79 in a 70 in Kansas a week or to back. I don't know how he only got 79 because I was going 85+ the whole way. Oh well.

Flip off some rednecks with a confederate flag bumper sticker. They'll have you speeding up in no time.

Instead of speeding, perhaps you should consider driving in the passing lane the whole way while driving 20mph under the speed limit?

Your speedometer is probably lying to you at that speed. Have you compared it to a GPS?

Last I saw, all the Lidar guns were 1500-4500.

Every single PD in DFW, uses laser for revenue generation.

You may not know it but this man is a spy, an undercover agent for the FBI and he's been sent down here to infiltrate the ku klux klan

1500 for a motorcycle or small car, 4500 or better for larger trucks or semis. I won't disagree.
That may be in DFW but that's not the norm everywhere.

Why the insistence on referring to speeding prevention as revenue generation?

Because it is done for revenue generation in many municipalities.

In Fort Worth, you can always tell when revenue is down because the Police Chief gets called into city council to explain why ticket revenue is down. Within the week, you see the traffic units out in full force.

It happens with KCPD as well (although, they're not as transparent about it as Fort Worth).

Are the police forcing anyone to speed? If there weren't complete dipshits out there like the OP of this thread who decide they want to intentionally drive well above the speed limit because they are way too busy to spend a little extra time on the road, it wouldn't matter how many traffic units were out on the streets.

Revenue generation? How about just take responsibility for your actions and if you get caught speeding it's your own fault.

And we've identified the "traffic cops" on CP. I bet both of you are the type of assholes that drive the speed limit in the fast lane to slow people down.

cant u buy a radar jammer and when the cop beams you it sends back an unreadable signal so the cop could pull u over but couldnt legally give u a ticket because he wouldnt have a known speed for you?

I believe you have proven to be the asshole here.

Radar jammers are FCC territory and not even available to purchase.

Laser gun jammers are FDA territory and available but illegal in almost every state. Typically when you get caught using one, you're automatically assumed to be speeding.

And I bet you're the guy who rides on people's asses going 90 while blaring Nickelback.

Somebody doesn't understand the term "speed limit" yet tries to use them in a sentence intelligently

If you're going 90, I wouldn't be riding your ass. If you're driving the speed limit in the passing lane, then yea, I'm right behind you.

No nickelback though. They suck more than you as a 1.1 draft pick.

Why? it is a passing lane not a speeding lane.

If speed limits made sense then I might observe them more. Highway speed limits in this country have not been moved up in most places despite tremendous improvements in vehicle safety and gas mileage.

Residential area speed limits make sense and I haven't gotten a ticket in one since I was a teenager.

If you're driving the speed limit in the passing lane, you're more than likely not passing anyone.

So in a 70 MPH zone, how fast do you typically drive?

If I am driving the speed limit in the passing lane then why do you need to be passing me?

Trolling douche must be trolling.

Nobody can be that stupid.

80. You don't get tickets in DFW if you stay within 10.

If I'm on an empty road in the middle of no where, then I might be inclined to drive a little faster.

Passive jammers don't work, don't waste your money on one. Active jammers, ones that are transmitting a signal, do work and are illegal. However, many of the police radar units have a jammer sensing function that will tell the officer if you are actively jamming his radar and the reaming you'll take for that is worse than the speeding ticket you would've gotten otherwise.

because you're a pussy that drives the speed limit.

I think the correct answer is that you are a complete douche.

says the pussy that thinks it's safer to cause traffic backups due to restricting the flow of traffic than exceed an outdated speed limit.

You are so badass.

Who causes more traffic accidents?

a) people who drive too fast

b) people who drive too slow

c)drunk people who are texting

c) people who lose control of their vehicle

Asshats like you that fly down the road blasting Nickelback.

Someone driving the posted speed limit that isn't hanging out in the left-hand lane isn't driving too slow. Someone speeding and constantly riding other people's bumpers are the drivers who cause more accidents.

http://www.vox.com/2014/6/16/5804590...-the-left-lane
.

Yes, they are driving too slow. People who drive too slow for conditions and people who force others to make lane changes to get around them cause more accidents.

Nice dodge.

No one, for any reason, should drive faster than they're comfortable, especially when conditions aren't good.

You don't get it do you?

I don't disagree with that. They can also not drive in the left lane if that's the case.

The only person who doesn't get it is you.

You are hilarious.

You are a complete ****ing moron. Someone driving the speed limit is not driving too slow (as long as they aren't hanging out in the left-hand lane). They aren't forcing anyone to change lanes or go around them. Drivers that are exceeding the speed limit (by more than a few mph) are making a conscious choice to change lanes constantly to go around other drivers. They have the option to slow down and obey the law, but they choose not to. If an accident occurs in that scenario, the driver exceeding the speed limit is the one causing the accident not the driver that is obeying the law.

There's research that backs my stance. You only have your opinion. Feel free to click the links in the story.

You are incorrect.

You are stupid.

Internet tuff guy.

cruise control.

Incorrect.

Pointing out that you were wrong and providing evidence that you were wrong is not being an internet tough guy. It's called educating stupid people about how the world actually works.

You should try reading those links before opening your mouth again.

The research basically said "hey, there's going to be people speeding so get out of their way." What it should have said is: people like KC native that drive like ****ing teenagers are going to ride your bumper and get pissed if you drive the posted speed limit. They will probably do reckless things to get by you even though you are obeying the law and if an accident happens they will blame you for interrupting their busy lives.

You are the one who can not try and have a conversation without calling someone a pussy, one who sucks the penis or that they are stupid.

You are the one who does not even know what they are arguing about.

No one is saying that it is OK to drive slowly and back up traffic. You are trying to argue that you should be able to speed in the passing lane.

Incorrect.
