Saved By Radar Detector..

Just got home right now from milpitas walmart when cruising at Tasman turning Great Mall Parkway my cheap radar detector went crazy and notice that there is something behind that street light pole, it's kinda dark in that place and there is a stop light before it turns to a 3 lane semi quarter mile. 2 motocop gunner shoot me with his laser. gonna buy a better Detector next time for more safety. got saved by the way!!

nice save, but it's unnecessary for me because i alway drive speed limit or less.

they can write me all the tickets they want saying that i was speeding but they better have the guts to show in court with all the exact proofs or back out.

i drive 30 on 25, which isn't really speeding. but cops in Jersey can be real @$$ holes and will pull you over for driving 30mph. that's why when my radar detector beeps, i piss them off by driving under the speed limit.

happen to my mother before. she was going 67mph on a 65mph freeway to get pass a slow semi truck in front of her, and stupid motorcycle cop pull her over and cited her for speeding over speed limit. the freeway happen not to have much traffic at the time so i guess that cop must be really really bored to death and need money or something. worst part is that cop show up in court too with the proof of my mother going over speed limit by 2mph, my mother have no choice but to plead guilty and pay half the fine.

It was a Valentine One with arrows but it is only sold at their website and you would never see it on some crappy home shopping network.

Valentine One radar and laser detectors
