    Default got ticket with V1

    yeah 86 in a 60 :twisted: :twisted:

    i was on my home from Atalanta, ga, and i was behind some guy that can't drive.... he would go from 50mph to 60 and back down all over the place, i couldn't set my cruise and my foot was getting tired......

    the road was a long twisty back road with little passing areas

    finally there was a long passing area around a corner, and then a hill at the end (the corner was very very long and legal to pass on)

    as soon as i try to go out around him the ass speeds up, WTF i had already committed and right as soon as i started to get over FULL KA BAND no burp or anything

    i look up and seen the LEO at the top of the hill

    My guess is he came over the hill seen me passing in the rental car and flipped on the radar :cry:

    just bad luck to pass where did i guess.... i only wanted to get around the guy so i could set my cruise at a steady speed and go !!

    Hmm... In Washington state its legal to exceed the limit to safely pass, on top of that, the other driver was illegally blocking your pass, not to mention that is extremely unsafe. I would probably get an attorney since this is easy territory.

    Good luck.

    Sorry about that. I make a habit of scanning up front before passing specially when you are already in speed limits. I do the same thing when in curves, looking not in front of the vehicle but looking at the end of the road as it continues to curve. It's not a perfect solution but it helps if LEO comes out of the curve or on a long stretch away. Although, there is not much you can do with instant on.
