My keys (fob) stays in the cup holder. I simply pick it up from cup holder and put it on the dash. I know with push button start and the whole remote access thing, it's quite useless but I think some cops appreciates if you turn the car off and put the key on dash when you get pulled over. I have a 6-0 streak so far on pull overs and like to keep it that that way

I've been pulled over 7 times so far. I guess I've been lucky, but so far (at least) I haven't gotten a ticket. I always put my turn signal on and exit slowly to the shoulder. I slow to a stop and roll the window down. Meanwhile, I get my registration and license out. Usually you have a few minutes until the cop comes out of his car, so be sure NOT to take your seatbelt off or else he might argue a seatbelt violation. When he comes to your car, make sure you are crying and offer to show him your boobs.

I can't believe that you just read this crap

Its true though ! This car is a magnet for cops!! especially here in South Africa! If i am in the 370z i get pulled over if there are cops on the side of the road! Always they see a fancy car and stop it! i Got pulled over three time in the space of 6 hours!
Once for "speeding" even though cars were zooming passed me but not even a chance to say hello i had a ticket!! (He was a rude *** u know what). Other two time just to check license e.t.c.

Arrrgggg Damn Piggies!

Well my driving record was absolutely clean(not even a parking ticket or warnings) before I got my first ticket(speeding) in my Z a month before I was getting out of the military. I was clocked at going 82MPH in a 65MPH while trying to pass a semi-truck at 5:30AM in the morning while heading to base for work in my uniform. In addition, I did everything by the book when the officer approached me such having my windows down, both hands on the steering wheel, addressing the officer as Sir, etc and the officer was constantly rude and being a smartass with me. I managed to keep my calm and drove off with a full blown ticket, no deduction or anything.

Granted I haven't dealt with many police officers in my life but that specific Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer sure ruined how I think of cops. :/

Robot Boy:

Laser detectors will detect police laser (AKA: Lidar), but when the detector goes off, it's usually to late. Unlike radar, Laser takes anywhere from a second to a few to lock on to a specific car. The newer guns are very quick to gain a lock, therefore giving you only a split second to slow down, which usually isn't enough. The older guns take a little longer. Depending on the conditions maybe 2-3 seconds at best. That's still very little time to react and slow your roll to a legal speed.

theDreamer · 04-03-2010, 07:14 PM

There is one plus to laser and that is it does bounce, not 1 mile but usually up to 5 car lengths or so.

Spartan 1771 · 04-03-2010, 07:32 PM

This is true, but overall detection is much harder then conventional K / KA band radar.

Laser is more of a tool used on crowded highways where deciphering a radar signal becomes almost impossible for the Officer. Unlike radar, Laser requires a direct line of sight with no obstructions (such as trees, road signs, poles, etc.), therefore not allowing the Officer to hide. The one advantage Laser gives the Officer is distance. When driving on crowded highways it’s always best to keep a sharp eye out for the Police Officer off in the distance.

I got pulled over once and the cop pretty much asked questions about my car ...no ticket ftw - I think he was bored
