I had a radar detector too, still do actually, but it's never on anymore. When I was in college I got 19 tickets in 7 states within 18mo. Lost my license for almost a year after that. That's when I learned about the ACD. Haven't paid for a ticket since.

I actually got pulled not too long ago for speeding but the cop never got me on radar but the cop just told me that the last thing I need is a ticket, so he let me go. Talk about luck...not to mention what was under the back seats. Still not of age for a few years, but wth

True Story.

On the 'cruise strip', 16, been driving for a couple months. I'm coming up on the stoplight at the main intersection, turns yellow, I roll on through it, didn't have to speed up or anything.

A couple hundred feet past the light, I see a cop FLYING up and by me, with his headlights off (running lights on). He gets caught up in the traffic. Me being the new, naive driver, I thought I would brown-nose a little, and pulled up beside the cruiser, and yelled at'em that his lights were off. He looked at the car, then at me, said "'preciate it, by the way, pull on over". The bastard said my rear wheels were on the white line when the light turned red, and he had went passed me, looking for me!!! So, that was my first ticket, running a red light. Boy oh boy, that was the first of many!

Don't feel bad OP, **** happens. Thats what you have that cruise for. I always set mine at no more than 6 over. Of course, I sneak passed that mark every now-n-then

Move to Orlando, it's impossible to get a speeding ticket here.

That law is strict in Virginia, in Kansas it states in the STO that as long as any part of your vehicle is in the intersection before the light turns red and you didn't speed up to get there your in the clear.
