I've gotten to the point where I don't care what is said, criticizing me. I just want to relay a story:
Many years ago, I was driving east on I-10 in North Florida. I was in the right hand lane going between 70-75. In the rearview mirror, I saw three cars coming very fast in the left hand lane. I estimated their speed at 80-85, at least. With my cruise control on, I always have my foot over the brake in those kinds of situations, and I was **** glad I did. As soon as the first car passed me, he cut over in front of me, very close, which put the other two cars to my left. At that exact moment all three hit their brakes!
I was a split second away from rear-ending the front car - scared the sh-ee-t out of me. They obviously all caught the radar signal at the same time. Having said all that, I'm sure you know what's coming: Yes, just as burglar tools are illegal because the sole purpose of their existence is to break the law, radar detectors should also be banned. Please don't tell me that you use them to REMIND you to stay within the speed limit. That's B.S., and you know it. Whether it be burglary or speeding, if you want to break the law, then be mature enough to risk the consequences. I know I'm in the minority here, but so what. O.K., I've had my say, and I expect at least a few of you to blast me. Just be honest enough to admit that you are in favor of having a device that helps you get away with breaking the law, and possibly putting lives in danger.
