The Speed Trap Thread.....

LOL, Andy. I got my woot on at 9:00 this morning. It should be here by next week!

I dig woot and steep and cheap...

I saw three women wearing the same Arctyrx jackets last weekend.. All of them got them off of S&C

Wow, I never knew about steep and cheap. That one is more geared to my taste. Thanks!

thats why i have a Passport 8500 radar installed in both my cars

Yup, wouldn't want to be driving without my trusty Valentine One's in both our cars either. The wife just bought a new minivan and we haven't hardwired the V1 yet, gots to be careful while we drive that for now - it's just SO easy to be doing 10mph or so over and get ticketed, especially near the end of the month

just too hard not driving fast in the Audi, but even with the truck, its so hard to go from driving 75mph for 4hrs to 20 mph thru a town...the Passport has saved me numerous times

I'm glad someone else knows what's it's like.


Flat torque curves are a dangerous, dangerous thing, eh SKIQUATTRO?



By the way, how's the gas mileage with the 8 cyl? ... I get about 25 mpg in the 2.7TT, 24 and occasionally a lil below 24 driving like... well... you know. Giving left foot some exercise.

on Rt. 49 to Waterville Valley the Thornton cops are the worst. They like the campground driveways just after Campton Pond and the small lot at Six-mile bridge.

There where 6 state troopers on I-87 between the Jersey border and the Harriman tolls. I never saw so many speed cops on the Thruway before. Five of them had "customers" and one was lying in wait to catch one.

I actually got pulled over right after I crossed over the NH state border from Brattleboro yesterday. It was on Rte. 9 right after you cross over the bridge from VT to NH. Luckily I only got a warning.

Franconia Notch trap

A tricky spot on 93 south (NH), still in Franconia Notch State Park.

Right after the one lane chages into the two lane. It looks like you're on regular interstate after traveling at 45 mph through the notch, so most people just rev back up to 65 + but they're still within the confines of the state park and the 45 mile speed limit conitues for a good 5 miles or so.

The cops love to get you just before the sign announcing 65 mile speed limit comes into view.
It's really easy to fall into this trap, although it's not heavily utilized by the NH State troopers.
