I'm out on the road between Tulsa and Des Moines and back every other week, and then between either Tulsa or Des Moines and California every quarter and I dont use anything but my instincts these days. I used to keep up with all of the latest detectors when I lived in California but gave up on it when I moved out east because the cops out here are tricky and sneaky. I havent ever gotten a ticket on either I-80 or I-40,and I always make or beat my usual times to and back from California. I have got a few tickets in California when there,and since Ive been living in Oklahoma Ive got a couple on the BA Expressway and a couple on I-35,always in Missouri and always just outside of Kansas City. I have never got a ticket while driving my black 88' S-10 Blazer 4x4 that Ive had since I bought it new in 88',but have gotten pretty much all of my speeding tickets in my black 98' Toyota Supra twinturbo that I also bought new in 98',no matter where Ive been at the time. Coincidence?The last ticket I remember getting was a few years ago in Missouri, I was driving the Supra on my way north up to Des Moines and was just outside of KC. He got me at 85. While I was sitting in his car he went up to my car and apparently told my wife to tell me that that (the radar detector I had hurriedly put in the floorboard before getting out for him) wouldnt do me any good in Missouri and showed her his stopwatch. He showed it to me too about 5 minutes later. Havent relied on a detector since.My dad was traveling between Muskogee and Ft Smith one time on the turnpike and was in a small convoy of cars going about 10-15 over and when they got to the turnpike gate there were OHPs waiting on them with lights on. One by one they came to each car to write a ticket. My dad asked what was up. The officer just pointed to the sky. Airplane. Lolll. My dad is an ex LEO too. And had his fancyschmancy radar detector ("bear finder") on the dash never lit up.Its best just to try and obey the law and take your time and drive within the limit. You still get there,just a few minutes later.</blockquote>
