noddy10 411 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 think i might have been cought speeding to day. the f*****g nob headed cop had his t5 hid in the house estate out ov view, and he was on the other side of the road hideing behinde a tree. are they allowed to hide like that? any way he pointed that gun at me and i tryed to slow down, so im just wondering....whats the range on them before they get you? i didnt see him till 30 yards off him??? c**ts!!!

maty j 6 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 no they arnt suposed to do that yet still do it!! the idea is to make you slow down not take your hard earned and get you 3 points. at 30 yds off him - expect the ticket through soon unless your VERY lucky, he probably had you way before you saw him anyway. the range on the lidar guns is increadable and even if you had a detector - by the time that goes off on laser your caught! were you the first in a row of traffic, at the back of others, on your own in the road or what?? if your running out of lives it may be worth investing in a jammer and detector but it would of been better off having protection before the horse has bolted.. atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 why not just follow the speed limit? lol thats better than buying a detector isnt it? they're allowed to hide out over here. if you're on the road enough you'll learn their favourite places to hide so you can speed like a demon until you get to those little cubby holes in the woods. also have to pay attention to cars around you. beware of the Crown Victorias that have antenna on the back, or funny looking things on the grill.. forgot what they're called, but they allow them to ram the crap out of you if they need to! my husband used to install radio equipment in patrol cars and my brother is a cop so between the two of them they've taught me all the neat things to look for lol but its always best not to speed unless you have to. like i even need to say that lol actually i got pulled over once - i KNEW the guy behind me was a copper... but i couldnt keep my speed consistent... and i changed lanes without a signal. he pulled me over and asked if i was in a hurry.. i was 7 months pregnant, car full of kids - my cousin beside me snickering - i told him "Yessir... see i have an appointment to have lunch with family and i'm STARVING!!" .. he gave me a warning and let me go lol!!

weejohn 3 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 i thought that the copper needed to pull you over and issue you with the ticket at the side of the road sounds like he was just trying to put the shiters up you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest manda Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think your allowed upto 8% over the limit or a small % over and no they cannot hide so i think you can appeal and they suppose to have signs out to say they are doing a speed check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THATS why we got pulled. that cop was just being a prick and going slow on purpose. my husband went to court to contest it and won. but this time the cop didnt show up.... nope! they met a few weeks later and discovered they both loved antique cars and became friends ...men...
