I respect law enforcement .... most of the time. When you consider detectives who hunt down murderers and rapists or DEA agents to destroy dangerous rings of drugs, I believe that these guys are not paid almost enough. But when it comes to the average street cop, that's another story.
It is not a fight against crime, to sit in a parked car for hours with a radar, removing unsuspecting motorists, who, in all likelihood, are speeding up due to ignorance rather than a crying desire to break the law. As a person who has spent many years driving with distances, at any time of the day or night, I can assure you that if you really go out and go, you will see more than your share of targeted violation of the law, more than enough to fill any the quota chief gave during roll call.
So how do you avoid such speed traps? Well, the obvious answer is “not speed.” It seems pretty simple, but the fact is that we all have problems with concentration, we always look down and notice that we have allowed our speed to creep beyond what would be considered acceptable, and if this happens when you are in the radar crosshair Well, your party is over. Make every effort to comply with the speed limits and not exceed 5 miles to the south (although in some small jurisdictions in cities, any excess can cause these gorgeous blue lights to flash in the rearview mirror).
Make sure that your speed comes down, as it always allows you to inadvertently accelerate. Rounding curves can be particularly difficult, as police and state soldiers like to use the opportunity to remain invisible until it is too late.
Check out the speed limits for any area or state you can visit. Knowing your expectations in advance can relieve you of some heartache.
There are also numerous speed trap websites. Print a list of dangerous areas along the route that you are going to take, and watch yourself accordingly. Keep in mind that these lists are by no means exhaustive, and new speed traps can appear anywhere at any time.
Buy yourself a radar. This is one of the products where it is recommended that you do not trade hunting. Get ready to pay up to $ 500 for the latest and most advanced radar detection technology. Law enforcement actions are overtime to stay one step ahead of the radar guns, so you need the best that the market has to offer. You do not want to see the blue lights behind you and have a radar gun that never cares, like a beep, to alert you.
You can also download applications for your phone that can provide up to the smallest notification of speed traps across the country.
Swim in schools. Just as the fish avoid sharks, gathering together in schools, make every effort to get into other groups of cars. You are much less inclined to stand out and be purposeful, especially if you are driving an indescribable car (in any case, this is wisdom), I threw a red Camaro for five years with the first warning, but was dropped five times in a white mini van figure). Do not be the first or last car in the line ... that asks for forgiveness.
Life in the speed lane. Not a good idea. Use the quick lane to pass, but do not spend a long time there. This makes you the main goal, as the police regularly train their radar guns on fast tracks.
Know your enemy and you can identify him. Police cars are not known for subtlety, that with flashing blue lights, aggressive graphics or writing and the omnipresent battering ram on the front bumper, but even unmarked cars are usually identified. They will be medium or larger sedans, often with glass that is very dark tinted (to overshadow instrument lights and cameras), and also uncharacteristically outperform average black tires. Think about something that Men In Black can do, and you have a good idea what to look for.
Basically, exercise common sense, be aware of your surroundings and always watch your actions. A quick ticket is one of the most useless things you can get. It does not make the roads safer; all he does is revenue for local, county or state government. Do not become an undesirable contributor.
