lidar is the scariest one.

Sometimes they go on the highway in black unmarked cars late at night and sit way ahead and aim at you.

I guess the next car i buy will be black.

Reflections absolutely in day light radar traps are not hard to find. If your paying attention you can see them. In the GTA area and outside the medians are all concrete ...

Bear your an officer.

You may not agree but lets say the limit where you were was 115-130.

Wouldn't that give you more time to focus on the really fast, really slow drivers, and perhaps other things. Then maybee more would drive closer to the speed limit and you and other officers could maybe spend more time on lane discipline, unsafe and ...

Well Squishy when you said if the flow of traffic gets up to 140 in the left lane you just move over to the right.....

This has happened to me i am only going to go a speed i feel appropriate i have no problem lettings others pass.

I always lead by example as soon as i pass i move over.

Then some of those parked in the left lane go ...

Good question. This is not my expertise though but i know things such as wrong fine amount, incorrect data can be considered as Fatal Errors?

There was another guy who got a ticket for 142 on the 401 he posted earlier in the week.

He had the wrong fine amount and others suggested this would count as a Fatal Error.

I also love the tall concrete wall cause the officer can't pull a U and run around to flash his lights on after he gets you with the spectre.

It is absolutely necessary in Major Cities.

A transport can go through the grass like nothing. The QEW is scary they still have those wood posts with the aluminum, or w.e it is.

A big transport can fly ...

Sorry squishy i would never go 100 in the left lane my apologies.

Know sometimes if i know the overpass or see the lights, etc i always pull into the right most lane and drive the limit.

Sometimes i have a good laugh being the slowest vehicle on the road as everything riding on wheels passes me.

it has happened before where i was the only one ...

A few times honking thats a bit much.

Although usually if i am on the highway people will just race around me.

But i am the last guy on earth to park in the left lane.

This always happens when some A hole up the road has a mile of cars behind him.

As i said most times along the 401 at off peak times when the flow of traffic is anything less ...

Well bear now i heard when you get a hit the best idea is just to turn off the detector :lol:

Beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppppppppp

Ah now its time to unplug it, remove the suction cups, turn off anything else, and put it away!

Sorry my bad it seems the Escort 9500 is now detecable by the Spectre IV+ RDD.

Although STi Driver ...

Absolutely fight this this charge is bazarr.

Does anyone remember that teacher Gord Thompson or something.

He got a ticket for 118 km/hr on the 401.

He went to court the Judge said he was breaking the limit by going even 1 km/hr faster.


I suggest this and other people start doing it.

Go on our major highways get a few people and go EXACTLY ...

Sorry just happened to notice this thread.

bear will know this.

Last week on 401 there was an accident at side of the road.

He has his lights on so i moved over didnt want that ticket, thats for sure!

Now what happens if the officer is at the side of the road and out of his car but he has no lights on??? Lets say he has pulled someone over ...

See here is another video with a guy testing spectre 4 vs STi Driver.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAYmbd9bLoE[/youtube]

In this one he can not detect it.

These videos confuse me.

So is it the Spectre 4+ now that can get all them?

And how are we defining "detectable."

Sure any SMWD or radar detector is detectable. But this gets into a discussion between Laser Jammers vs Radar Detectors.

And if you meant detectable as in you could see it sure. If you can see it that is detecable.

If you mean detectable such as you detecting it with your spectre okay. But no there is some ...

Good point Radar i have seen this many times.

Women on cell phones changing lanes not even paying attention.

Those people really bug me, they check their email's make phone calls and do not even care at all. They are driving half in one lane.

These people deserve Careless driving charges.

I mean come on atleast if your gonna talk on your cell ...

So guys is it me or i am the only one in this forum that seems to think our limits our way to low.

I mean i cant drive the limit. Even in the right lane at 100 i get honked at by trucks.

I mean the Police, transports, old people, 4 cylinders, SUV's, Vans, Ice cream trucks and everything on 4 wheels or more seems to drive more than 100 on our 400 ...

Guys i couldn't agree more.

Infact ill admit it. I love those dam OPP cruisers. When i see one i am such a bad driver. They are so distracting. Last time i saw one i went buy him at like 80 with my window down trying to see what device he was using and check out his spectre. :lol:

Mind you those cars look really good with the light bars.

There ...

Take it to court.

I don't know where your from or if your familiar with that area.

15 over in this area you will get caught. Anything west of London and Around Chatam 15 over they will still take you.

Around the GTA you need to push 130 to get a ticket. Here if you keep it around 120-129 you should be fine.

Besides here its hard if your in the ...

If he was right behind you while driving he probably was using K or Ka band Stalker or Genesis II.

IF he was right behind you with radar im sorry but he got you....

It would be different at the side of the road though...

Anyways the public pays police to serve the public. I would call his detachment you can look them up at the OPP's website ...

Comparing a murder investigation to having a SMWD 2 different things.

Would you charge someone with robbing a store and they have enone of the evidence. How can you prove based on that.

Your telling me that you can just suspect someone to have a radar detector is good enough for a fine without finding it i dont think so?

So if you pull me over ...

Anyways thats to bad the officer wouldn't help.

His local detachment is right off Exit 282 on the 401.
It is just north of the 401 on exit 282.

Maybee drop by and see if they will answer some of your questions.

Take it to court.

Very interesting was the officer already speeding before you got in that lane?

Send me a PM i spend drive alot through there.

Next time you pass put your blinkers on.

Although you are right the flow of traffic on that area of the 401 is very fast. The officers there seem to drive very fast to.

This year i have seen a certain Female officer from ...

Hey guys i have a problem. I have never done it but a few times i have seen a sleepy trucker who was all over the road and i had to use *OPP i dont wish to do that to anyone but i think he was endangering his life and others.

Although i see bad drivers everywhere there is one thing that really bothers me.

What do you when its the Provinces own ...

Oh FireStart that really sucks.

Getting caught for 115 on the 400 LOL!

I have seen people go through radar there over 140 and the guy not even move. Thats the autobahn of ontario.

What part was it at the OPP act alot different outside the GTA though with traffic maybee up near sudbury i understand.

Squishy what company are you insured with ...

Reflections i totally agree.

Your telling me an officer would give you a 100-1000 $ fine and 3 demerit points on suspicion and no evidence LOL!

How can you do that. What if your spectre doesnt detect it.

Does that make driving a nice vehicle and not speeding automatically suspicion of having a SMWD???

What is that. So if you pull over a guy in ...

Very true reflections.

The officers just do their job if they are told to write more tickets they pressured to do it.

The way i see some of these HSD officers drive around the GTA you would seem to think that they don't care about speeding either until they issue a big ticket.

Thanks for clarification bear.

So for example you pull someone over for stunt driving "50 over" and this guy was also weaving in and out of lanes like crazy so you might give him careless driving.

So he would get both fines his insurer would see both fines but he would lose 6 points because stunt has 5 but since careless has 6 they take the ...

Ya i see the flow of traffic get to that speed all the time between 130-140 depending on hwy and other conditions.

Most people wont cruise at over 150 just cause the added stress on the engine, way more fuel, and the tow truck.

Even in a 4 cylinder car the same i have never driven an 8 and rarely a 6.

But with a 4 cylinder your engine will rev ...

Thanks bear if a driver had a laser jammer and a radar detector would you take both and write one ticket or write one for each?

And that would be a total of 6 points and 2 x 175 $ for first time?

Im curious to hear what others say.

Maybe hwybear might have some input. Does insurance rates go up according to the amount of points the conviction was.

So would getting a speeding ticket at 16 or 29 over would raise my rates the same?

Does the company look at the charge and say X points for the fine = X much increase in insurance?

So back to ...

Squishy i am going to have to agree with you on that.

As far as gas prices go even if the highways didn't have a limit like the autobahn system there is no way i would max it out all the time.

The gas begins to cost way to much at speeds like that. Even if we had no speed limits many would not "max out" due to gas prices and costs.
