Re RADAR DETECTORS
 
Back in the heydays of NASA a friend in Houston was highly placed in security. Astronauts would practise flying light aircraft in space suits. Occassionally one wouldland in an unplanned location. My friend would have to drive a marked Federal police car to retrieve the suit. He would drive the freeways at 80 to 90 mph with siren and lights on with cars passing him on both sides! It is possible to get a ticket here but you have to work at it. Unfortunately "little red cars" are most likely to be picked out. Such is life!

One small point I would argue is this - I used to get nickel-and-dime tickets in SC every year, and maintained about six points on my license annually.? Guess what - my insurance premiums went nowhere.? Nada.? Always stayed the same.??The tickets?were all for, say, ten over - nothing for highway speeds at all, say 43 in a 35MPH zone.? Pure local revenue generation.? I paid the $50 and moved on.
?
I didn't have issues until I bought the Ferrari, and THEN the insurance companies were looking for dead-clean records before they'd give me a policy - Hagarty, Chubb, etc. wouldn't talk to me.? I had to get emergency coverage from some fly-by-night, legal-minimum coverage place for about a year and then add the car to my regular policy.? Still didn't get the coverage I needed, but I was 'legal' enough to satisfy the lien-holder and get the financing.? Time heals all wounds, and after five/six years, Hagarty returned my calls and now we're set.
?
Now, I have a V1 and it has saved me numerous times in NY.? Connecticut is funny - I'll do 75 in a 55 zone entering Hartford, and get PASSED by the cops.? They don't even look at me.
?

I'll do that and I wouldn't mind hearing about some tips....I cannot avoid death, taxes, and speeding tickets!!

Yeah, I agree....it's more common to get popped on slower roads. I do pretty well on highways unless I'm careless, which happens probably once a year.

Exactly what I try to tell people!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!

Man it's so frustrating to deal with people (coworkers mostly) who do not have these cars who think that I'm constantly doing burnouts and WOT in every gear like some 18 year old kid.....

I tell them that it's a real burden having a car that can go from 75 to 90+ in 6th gear without noticing, and they just laugh because they think I'm joking. Naturally because for a regular car you kinda have to put some effort to hit 90 mph. :)

South Carolina is a real problem compared to New York....here's why:

1) Cops may be a thousand times more polite down here but so far it's a 100% ticket policy...no breaks. They will write down every single ticket to 10 over, but 10 over is still points!!

An NY cop never writes anything down but there's better than a 0% chance you get a warning or a hook up for an insurance ticket, broken light, etc.

2) Thanks to a relatively small population, first court dates come up quick -- a few weeks compared to NY where you're looking at 2-3 months (because you can plead not guilty and then be assigned a court date as opposed to just being given a court date 5 weeks after your traffic stop!). Sometimes you get nice automatic postponements too...a good 6 months before you ever have to show up.?

3) In SC, when you show up to court they never ask if you want an attorney. In NY that's standard practice, and postponing can buy you a few more months (and then at the point, you give to attorney and you cross your fingers). If you show up in SC, you either plead guilty or argue your case (and most likely lose).

4) In NY, traffic attorney is a very real profession not a hobby. The winning percentage of someone good is probably 70-80%, and if you count reductions as winning, then maybe 90%. You pay about $200-250 a pop but your insurance doesn't go up (and you don't pay the fine). In SC, traffic attorney isn't a real profession apparently, and from what I've seen in court never saw anything good come out of it.

In summary, in SC you get pulled over and there's a 99% chance you are getting points in a few weeks. In NY, you get pulled over and if you know how to play the game there won't be a decision on your case for 1 to 2 YEARS, and a very good chance you are getting off or reduced.

In SC's defense they seem to be more forgiving of points after a year or so, but in the short term it's tough!

Sorry for the rant, I have to send in a guilty ticket for doing 10 over at 6 AM a few weeks back. :)

FG

Very well summarized, FG! People from most places don't believe how bad
SC is for traffic tickets, and it's just that, as you said, all the
normal tricks and games are quite ineffective here. I'm forwarding your
e-mail to my mom so she can see I'm not as evil a driver as I'm
portrayed to be by the state... :-)

>>MJ sez "Connecticut is funny - I'll do 75 in a 55 zone entering Hartford,
and get PASSED by the cops.  They don't even look at me."



Ya know I consider myself a pretty eagle eyed driver.  Ex racer, ex point
man infantry, checking "my six" [thanks Clyde] about every 3 seconds so it
seems.  And then - and THEN - cruising about 10 over me (I'm sorta legal +5
or so) a CHP cruiser roles by.  WTF??  Where did HE come from?



Alas - a humbling experience I'll tell ya.



DOUG
