James talks about how instant on radar tends to make detector
usage almost useless, well I have to add a note about something
that is in use around here that makes detectors TOTALLY useless!
This "thing" is call VASCAR. It involves the cop pushing a button
on a timer when he sees you pass some point, and then push
another button when you pass another point. It is a total sham!
And yes I get a nice shiny ticket due to a cops less than
spectacular reaction times! Also when the cop pulled me over
he was not amused to see my (not useful this time) radar detector..
I kind of think having the detector just ensured I got a ticket
rather than a warning. Haven't used the $250 wondor of technology
since.
