Default Satan in the passenger seat

Seems every time I get in the Beast, Satan comes along for the ride. If I keep getting speeding tickets I may have to sell the damn thing. Anyone else have this problem? Do I need an exorcist?

Get a V1 radar. Satan will go away.

Get a V1....! Exorcise the demons...! Under advice of counsel, I have exorcised my demons. Shucks, I have a ceremony daily, everytime I get in the carcharodon..!

A friend of mine, a professional rally driver, said that driving without a V1 was like playing Russian Roulette with a loaded gun. Sooner or later.........! Don't leave home without it. You will be amazed and wonder why you made it this far. Once you have mastered reading the arrows you will react in an instant.
In a pack, the Smokey will single you out and the V1 will light up. And you will wonder why we tolerate this when cars passing you are inferior.

For more fun, get a Uniden Bear Tracker. Listen to Smokey at work before he goes to work on you.

My CB has saved me more often than the V1 on long highway trips.....

The truckers yak all day about Smokey sightings and pertinent milepost locations. Lots of fun. One even noticed my CB antenna when I went by and started conversing about 928s, and the one he had at home. More fun on the road.

I have a nice Bel, but nothing can prevent you from being nailed with the dreaded Laser. I'm still considering the exorcist to rid Satan from the passenger seat. Maybe then I'd quit constantly hearing, "C'mon, you could have taken that corner a little FASTER!"

Thaddeus - love the Car Sharing pic.

Learn the fine art of using someone as a speed trap for you. Drive the speed limit until some idiot goes past you at 20 over. Keep 'em 100 yards in front of you. Watch for brake lights.

Ron I can never fuigure out what channel?? Btw I am NOT a V1 fan, I've seen them in action on the way to Wichita, and my Passport (built-in) SR1 is far superior.

I was considering surgery to have my right foot lightened.

John K. advised me it wasn't my foot, it was the car that wouldn't let me drive the speed limit.

I've used detectors for many years, currently use a V1. Works fine when mixed with some common sense.

Maybe Satan isn't the problem, it's no common sense!

Detectors certainly are a life saver for Radar, but with triggered Laser - your dead, unless you constantly drive like a little old lady.

Anyone have any experience with laser jammers? I was going down the tollway the other day when my laser detector went off (scatter from a car ahead of me). I put on the binders as the cop took aim at me, and got down to a legal speed quickly enough that the worst he could do was shake a fist at me and slow down. I got lucky, but it made me think again about buying a laser detector like the Blinder M20.
