I'm writing a guide book for Spanky Jr to go with his new Sti. What are the "special" tips that should be included in the things you've learned

He's going to be using in Southern Ont with lots of rides on the 401 Windsor/Toronto

Use your eyes, that is one thing you should tell him.

Agreed, don't just depend on the RD. A RD is not a license to go fast - just means you like to not get caught :-P

Do not speed in Chatham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a 5 km strecth, do not go more then 10 km/h over the PSL or they will catch you.

They run laser and Ka at the same time.

I got busted doing 149 on the 401 west in Chatham. The prosecutor reduced it 129 if I gave a "guilty" plea. I did, my lawyer says I am lucky they even gave me that.

When I got my ticket, I received a complete defence package via registered mail, that included:

device used, calibration certification, LEO certification papers, time, weather conditions, road conditions, even mentioned that it took me 15 minuted to find my insurance pinks....

Yikes! Sorry for the ignorance but I'm new to the world of RDs... but does that mean when laser and Ka are running at the same time, the RD doesn't give you enough warning... or were you just going too fast to slow down in time?

Where do you have your STi mounted? I'm seriously considering ordering one (I'm in RD-banned NS) -- Roy suggests putting it on the visor with the STi case http://www.radarbusters.com/products...r/STI-Case.asp

Is that what you do? And is it hard-wired? And what did you do with
your RD when you were pulled over -- leave it where it was or hide it?

Sorry for all the questions!

Always put RD on yourself in case of a pullover. Laser don't expect to be saved, but if everything goes just right, you can get forewarning. Ka is usually not a problem with an STI but in sparse traffic in the middle of nowhere, probably at night and the radar is being used in an instant-on manner, yeah it can bite you in the butt.

Watch out for opp officer sitting between sarnia and London on the 401 he sits in the median with spectre 3 not that it matters with an sti but he shoots ka band radar...he likes to sit here and hide at night time using his rdd's in the dark to nab detector users
