First I/O encounter... needless to say, I learned my lesson!

**Quatro** · 10-31-2011 07:02 PM

So its about 4 a.m and I am driving west on I-690 going through Syracuse, NY (psl 55) and I am going 25+ psl. I slow down for a long sweeping corner and quickly get back up to speed. I am all alone and its pitch black outside when the Valentine goes full tilt with a ka alert. I'm immediately on the brakes and I quickly knock off 10 mph but the damage was done.

The officer got me at 83 mph and I was honest and straightforward with him so reduced it to 73 in a 55. I know I screwed up big time with not having a rabbit but I wanted to get home after a long weekend of driving (Rochester to Philly and back).

Anyway, this is in no fault the V1's and I am merely writing about my experience and how I will always travel with a rabbit!!!

Lesson learn.

That's sucks. No radar detector on the market detects NO RADAR. Until someone invents a police locator (cobra makes a good one), than we all need a rabbits sometimes. Maybe cobra should put all there efforts into building a radar jammer instead of their famous detector ---- DETECTORS !!!!! Anyways at least he lowered your ticket for you

Yeah he was pretty relaxed and he could've really screwed me... and correct me if I'm wrong but I thought radar jammers were illegal?
