ya im still here...
for sure ill try to keep it slow to avoid that kinda stuff...i live in ontario canada, and ive noticed ppl drive faster than ppl down in the states... the average flow of traffic is like 20-25km/h over spd limit..on highway its like 30 over...depends on time of day of course...when i was down at NY and detroit, they're more obedient to the signs...i might be wrong on this tho..

i think i remember hearing that they are legal to own everywhere, but illegal to put to use in some states, if you get pulled over and arent sure then pop it off and drop it on the floor while you are pulling over.

Yes, but if you've ever seen the mischeif 3000 video, you'd know that they ask why you slowed down the second they put the radar on you.
Just tell them it has a warning for emergency vehicles and school busses, and that's why you have it.
Or that your significant other bought it for you and you don't want to make him/her feel bad by taking it off. Then go on about how fucking annoying it is.

well radar measures speed... and it doesn't just get a flash of speed, it gets a continuous readout. when the little red numbers go down, that means you are decelerating.
either that of if you have exhaust, you can hear motor turning 7500 RPM as you try to slow down.

why would the motor be spinning at 7.5k if you are slowing down.
