Radar detectors - are they worth it?

[TrickLidz]

I would (will) not drive (ride) a vehicle without a radar detector!!!

Saved me thousands!!!

If you say "no" don't be surprised if he writes you a ticket for operating a motor vehicle with defective headlights..

 

 

So now it's O.K. to make up charges....This just gets better and better.

I'm OK with that. Your lights were flashing. You claimed you were not flashing them. Obviously they are defective.

[Woodie]

As for people flashing headlights, I thot that went out with the 70's! I can't recall the last time I had someone flash their lights to warn others of a speed trap up the road. Hmmm, time for another survey.

 

On our way to the UN. (in PA) Was a Good Thing!

Well I got pulled over again today on the way home from work. This time I was in my truck and only doing 15 over.

 

He took my paperwork back to his car and within 2 minutes he got out and came back over to me. I knew I was lucky at that point. He told me he was going to give me a break, and I thanked him and told him I appreciated it.

If one is inclined to ignore (break?) one law, then why not another, and another, and... It's that slippery slope thing.

 

This argument only holds water if you think all laws are equally important.

 

Exactly.

 

Well, I'm already going 70mph in a 55mph zone on this long, straight, flat road with 10 miles visibility in all directions and no traffic, so I might as well sell copies of our Nuclear Missile launch codes to the highest bidder, murder a bunch of school kids, and rob a bank while I'm at it.

 

This whole discussion just reminds me of an old story I heard...

 

A gentleman in a casino who is doing quite well at the table finds an attractive young woman next to him. He continues to play and win and they strike up a conversation. After a while he asks her, "For a million dollars would you sleep with me?"

"Yes" she replies but clearly is a bit taken back by the question.

He then asks, "Well would you sleep with me for $50?"

Angry, and obviously insulted she replies "No. What do you think I am?"

"We already determined what you are with my first question, we're now just negotiating price." he replied.

Hogwash.

Seeing everything in black and white is mentally indolent.
