I stopped using a radar detector about 5 years ago.
There are too many cops around here that are using the instant-on radar and laser. Ass soon as that detector chirps, they have your speed.
I just stick to about 10 over the speed limit, or I manage to get in with a pack of people.

intuition is sometimes best.
but for the most part, I stick around 7mph over the limit.

My Escort has saved my ass countless times, and I love to speed. When I do get nailed, I always get an attorney: my five year record is spotless, and that also helps if you do get pulled over.

My V1 saved me last night. I was driving home after a party (3am, I was the designated driver) and as I get on the freeway I get a strong Ka signal from back that keeps getting stronger, and I am going 80, so I slow down to 75 for two miles and the signal is still there. At this point I am wondering, wtf is going on, because I also saw another patrol car with lights on a half mile in front of me driving about 80. So, the one in front gets off the highway, and finally a highway patrolmen pulls up next to me, flashes his white light at me, and then drives off.
I think they were looking for drunk drivers.
