    Default Probably going to make it!

    I have not had a ticket in 2010; since, I joined this website, switched my plates to the State I live, and got an 8500 x50 RADAR detector.

    I do not want to jinx it, but I think I am going to make it an entire year without a ticket!

    Congrats! You're much better off driving with a detector than without!

    x 50 is a nice detector. But it can come up short on off axis 35.5 or 33.8 ka. Make sure X is off and run pop off. Have the scanning dot or plus running to make sure it hasn't frozen. And it's good practice to periodically shut it off and turn it back on in case it needs a refresh. I did this on mine. Also have it level and mount as high as possible but not in back of tint. Don't worry about laser shots as the X50 was pretty good at it even when mounted high.

    I know all about that. The first (and only) time I ever got a ticket, I was talking to someone about kids who get tickets and mommy and daddy pay for it and how if I got one I would step up and pay it myself.... 2 hours later I got pulled by a Bama state trooper for 74 in a 45.....
