[CP RAPTOR]

Up here, they take your vehicle away for 30 days and you pay the impound fees, your fine and if you do it again, it's 6 months! Most will let you go with a lower ticket, but if you're waving bacon out of your raptor at that speed, you're done!

Over here you lose it for 90 days, pay the impound AND pay the $2500 fine.. Then a 6 month suspension, then a probation period for two ? Years with only 6 points.. Tickets range from 2-6 points, speeding starts at 4.

Jimbo no offence but looking at the info on the ticket he got you with a laser.. He's got you plain and simple. They might drop the speed if you offer a guilty plea to a lesser fine but next time just drop your speed and you won't have to beg them to do it for you !

Radar detector wouldn't have helped in this situation, Rich. Looks like the LEO used laser.

Don't believe it was laser, as the "feet" measurement is from the nearest road from the highway. Who knows... I got popped. Hopefully they'll lower it for me and I can put this behind me and slow the **** down.

My detector has a laser detector too

My detector has a laser detector too

Once laser goes off, you're ****** anyway... which is why I'll likely never invest in a radar detector.

Yea the only reason i know it works is because it caught one of those automatic doors at a CVS lol

Laser is at least somewhat effective on the Valentine 1. I've had some saves when I'm going say 5-7 over. I've also had it save me from a similar situation as the one that @Jimbo was in. I was traveling 90+ and got popped with laser coming over a hill. I was able to get down to 81 on the ticket because I slammed on my brakes as soon as it went off. Over 90mph or 25mph or more over the limit, I wouldn't have been able to do Defensive Driving to dismiss it.

Let me know when your 15 Day suspension starts. I never done a vacation in the big city of Chicago & it would be nice to have a Raptor to drive around with for two weeks....

I have no problem paying up, but if they don't drop the speed by 3mph I lose my license for 15 days, lol.
