Default Private community Wespeeding ticket

Well i live in a private community and i was driving today and as i was passing a patrol car (he was driving in the opposite direction) he turned around and pulled me over, said he clocked me at 33 mph.. in a 15 zone.. as i was going down the biggest hill in the community and had my break on!!

o know that radar has the capability to get my speed if he is moving and going in the opposite direction..


but does anyone know of something good to say so they might throw the ticket out lol? i know they are going to try and charge me upp the A$$ for this

Turns out i can go to "there" traffic school for $25 and it voids the ticket..
better than paying the $300 fine haha

I think its about time for me to get that radar ticket, seems i don't know how to slow down... maybe that will help me a little bit!!!

I have one on all the time and I rarely speed. Matter of fact, I usually cruise 63 in the 70 mph & 65 mph zone. It's best to get use to seeing them before they see you. I have an Escort Passport X50 with the blue display. I think I paid $170 on craigslist. If money didn't matter, I would get the one that has the gps in it.

GPS? in a radar detector? what does that function do..

I might go "all out" and buy the valentine one detector, if not i'm just going to get the x50.. seeing as though if it saves me from one ticket it will pay itself off

Escort: https://www.escortradar.com/passport9500ix-details.php

They take trade-ins. That means that you can buy an old crappy Escort on eBay for $15 bucks, send it to them and they will give you a $80 rebate. LOL

Oh, BTW, My x50 may have saved me twice today. I was traveling and was alerted by the police twice with plenty of warning. I traveled about 360 miles today.
