Broke my cherry!

Got the Escort Passport about a week or so ago, and have been getting the expected "falses" from various surrounding auto sensors, the expected "falses" from the shopping centers as I pass and found that the filters on the Escort Passport have performed as promised.

You can tell. You can just tell from the totality of the circumstances that these falses are 1) expected and 2) soon to be gone through the "learning" part of the unit.

But today I'm heading to Oviedo and...strong Ka shows up...STRONG...followed by ANOTHER hit of strong Ka (the Passport, set on "Expert" shows how MANY different hits, and of what kind, you're getting) and sure enough, about 3/4 of a mile ahead, there they are.

Not actually a "speed trap", rather it's two Staties at a small fender bender, traffic backed up FOREVER in the opposite direction, but the point being...

If it HAD been a speed trap...I had THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE NOTIFICATION!

Sure, it was "constant on". Sure it was actually a non-threatening event.

And sure...my heart was pounding like a trip hammer, 'cuz I had been maybe a bit on the lead-foot side when it hit.

WHADDA RUSH!

Okay, so I wasn't in a lot of jeopardy...this time. Doubtful that they were even monitoring their systems, and even more doubtful that they would have left their posts to pursue if they HAD been monitoring under the circumstance, but...

But it sure served to boost my confidence in the system!

Me likee RD! RD good! RD make you stong, like MOOSE!

Ride safe,

CR

I still get excited about encounters. Even after driving with them for more than three decades, the shine still hasn't worn off. Can't even say the about my marriage. (Just kidding).
