    Default Road Trip!

    My family and I are taking a road trip out to Rochester Saturday morning and spending the night there as well for my cousions graduation. I'm expecting to see alot of instant-on and laser...Should I be expecting anything else do ya think? Hopefully i'll see some speed traps or something since my dad wont use my radar detector he said "im not going to be speeding so what the hell do i need to use it for" is there usually alot of speed traps out towrds Rochester?

    If you are taking the thruway you are bound to see a few traps between the way there and back... NYST's will use Ka Instant-on mostly, a decent amount of laser, and then surprise you with some K band use.

    my dad loves to gun it. he's always wanting to borrow my detector when he drives to NYC and other places for business.

    I haven't encounted any instant-on myself in NY. when I drove out to syracuse from boston, I just found a lot of LEO's parked on the side of the road, and a lot gunning it down the left lane. A lot of steady KA band. no laser.

    Alot of times my friends ask if they can use my RD for trips that they go on. I tell them no alot because I mean first off K band falses sometimes and going on the NYST you have to know what your up against... I wouldnt want my friends getting a ticket beacuse of them not knowing how cops use there radar/laser.
