Default Radar saved my *** twice tonight

Me and a bunch of friends went up to canada tonight. We were hauling *** up there, first time radar started going nuts and cop was in the center of the freeway waiting. I was able to slow down time thankfully.

The second time I thought I was busted for sure. Me and two other cars were hauling and the cop was going to oppsite direction, radar went nutz...slow way the down, cop went by, then flips his lights and busts the car behind me.

Damn I was sh!ting my pants.

I not going to speed ANYMORE.....not worth it!

sorry keyboard is messed up... no more cussing I guess

You would've been dead if he caught you. Radar is not legal in Canada and we have detectors for them too !

I forget what this radar detector is called but, it says if you get pulled over for speeding and you were using their detector, they will pay the ticket. I think the thing cost about 400-500 bucks off ebay.

Rage, you think life sucks there, move to Iowa! When a new street light goes up in town, we all gotta jump in Mommas truck and head on down to see it! When Lucys cow died it was the talk of the town. Them Ho-downs are a knee slappin good time! After all that we all sit down and eat corn. Every once in awhile me and my brother go cow tipping... Dont tell pappy, he'll whoop our asses with a belt if he ever found out!

I was in the States while using the radar. The board patrol lady didn't stay a word about it. I had gone the speed limit every since that second cop encounter in the states. I saw the signs up along the freeway that said no radar. Plus not radar detectors have that anti detector stuff, I think its called AG2 or something.

I just learned speeding isn't worth it. The scare was good enough for me.

****** - LOL...

Sorry about the misinformation, i was under the impression all provinces had banned radar. Well, to correct myself, radar is definetly banned in Toronto.

Most new radars have radar detector protection, but all they do is beep twice and shutdown when the feel the precense of the detector.

Also I don't think the border guard would've said anything about you entering ontario with the detector, I would'nt think they would care...but a cop on the other hand...

radar detector is a good thing but main thing is to think then you drive and know what your local police is using, but of all radar detectors there is only 2 normal :

BEL 980
and
Escort Passport 8500
all others is bullsh*t
maybe couple whistlers is ok because of their price

want info check out radar-test.com
or other cople similar sites they do testing of all detectors
