Hello from the commonwealth

[mikie2084]

New to the forum, I find myself late for work a lot! I started looking for a detector and ran across the forum. If you guys could point me in the right direction Id appreciate it! Im thinking since Im in VA and from searching that the bel sti is what I need? What about jammers? Ect..? The highways I travel are very very well patrolled. Ive seen radar guns, car mounted, im not sure the difference of them though.

Thanks fellas

Mike

Ouch you're from the communistwealth. You're options are Sti, Sti-R, Redline and 9500ci. I wouldn't think about going more than 20 over in communistwealth.

Yea i know what you mean about the 15mph over. Most troopers here that I or friends have encountered actually will reduce your speed down to 80 just so its not reckless. Towards richmond and surrounding counties your pretty much SOL if you doing 72.

Last trooper I had contact with told me to "get a good lawyer because I'm throwing the book at you."

Welcome to the forum, I hate driving through VA it's just a terrible place. Sorry to hear you have to live in the communist state. What interstates do you usually travel on? last march I got busted for reckless driving on I-85. You definitely need to look into a jammer as well. Hope we can help you out man.

[mikie2084]

It depends if you are weaveing in and out of traffic and are actually being reckless I think. If theres nobody around and your doing 85 they usually bring it down to just speeding here.

I got busted on I-85 going 89-70 in light traffic in the middle of the night just riding in the fast lane. State trooper. VA blows, they love to ticket out of staters anyways. What interstates are you usually on?

[mikie2084]

I drive mainly I-81 70mi round trip to work, I-64 a few times a week just to get around faster. The part of 81 im one i've seen as many as 7 troopers to and from work in a day. One always shoots radar uphill, there is a overpass at the crest whisch blocks your view of the pull off. Got my wife doin 82 in a 65 but reduced it down to 80.

I guess state troopers are more willing to give breaks to those in state then out of state which makes sense. Yea they just did a huge crackdown on I-64. Check the news stories section for details. Watch out for Lidar on I-81 from bridges and I/O ka from the state police.

Caution in the Communistwealth.

81 is a pretty good road to drive above the PSL for the most part. 64 has many, many hiding areas.

I would suggest whatever you buy as a detector that you also include Trapster on a Personal Nav Device.

This will give you some Heads up as long as there are other users in your area that assist.

In another thread I have voted VASP is being the worst for cutting you the least slack. ROBOCOPS for the most part.

Beware. As someone who was a former resident, I would advise that you use the RD as a way to check your speed rather than increase you speed or shorten your travel time. They are sneaky bastards!
