Copper Murano eastbound on the 401 near Kingston at about 3pm Thursday the 14th.
I was trying to keep up with you when I got a speeding ticket. The officer was in an unmarked blue Impala with dark tinted windows. He was originally pacing you, but I got in front of him before the construction closed the left lane, so he pulled me over.
145km/h in a 100km/h, $335 and 4 points. Ouch.
:banghead: :D |

Sounds like he got you as you were slowing down....
Wow! I better watch my speed... It's so easy to find yourself above 160 kph! |

| Ahhh well the price of having a quick SUV! I learned my lesson early on as well when I got a speeding ticket in the Murano as well. |

A Valentine 1 is a great traveling companion (except in Canada).

But it won't do squat as you fly by an unmarked pacing Impala...... |

Eyes and brain are the best detector.
I have had fun on the highway with a 10.5 GHz Gunnplexer and a 9 volt battery. Little short bursts and watch how many people brake for no apparent reason... It can be quite amusing on a long drive.:22: |

| Eyes and brain are what I use. Besides, a lot of police use laser here now anyway. |

If you read what is said everywhere and even on Valentine's web site, you understand that if you catch a deflected laser signal with your detector, it is simply because you were very lucky. The chances that a faint laser signal may be deflected to your detector by a vehicle in front of you are as good as having a snowless winter here.
And with a laser gun, if you're aimed at, you're dead meat as your detector will only confirm the fact that there is a Christmas tree on wheels on your tail.
This is why there was no new development in the cat and mouse game of detection and counter-detection for quite a few years now.
But I agree that the Val will give you the biggest edge among all of them even if it's almost worthless against laser.
BTW, nothing can jam a laser gun. If you believe this, PM me and I will sell you a miracle diet. You would have to go stealth and drive a very ugly car using angles and the special paint from a stealth bomber in order to be able to defeat a laser gun aimed at you.
The best way to speed and avoid a ticket is still to follow a speeder from 1/4th mile behind and check his tailights. I have done this for 8 years now without a speeding ticket. |

| Paint your entire Murano flat black and make sure you never wax it and you'll have better chances with a laser... But even then, he can still get you! You just have to be closer. |
