I have already slowed way down on my bike after my crash back in December.

By the time you detect radar isn't it to late? Or is that only sometimes?

My radar has saved me TONS of times.. +1^ if you get the laser alert, you might as well just pull over and wait

Was running on cruise 54mph and entered unaware a little town near Emporia and stopped by cop in 35mph zone. Went to court--but FIRST I took online drivers' ed course, fairly cheap. Took certificate to court. Was very polite and praised the policeman for his professionalism. Son happens to be policeman (Arlington, VA, at the time) and I just happened to mention that. Was a new car, I was not familiar with instruments, it was a sunny day and I had on very dark sunglasses which made seeing speedo difficult, and I get migraines in bright light so couldn't drive without shades. Brought all that up. Had good driving record up till then. By the time all was done, the judge kept knocking down the charges until I got fined for a non-moving violation. Seemed fair.
