Well with all the talk about Valentine 1 stuff I guess I jinxed myself.
I always cook along I-91 and I-89 in VT, probably average around 100mph,
never had a problem. Today I got a nice ticket from a friendly VT trooper
30 miles south of White River, 89 in a 65. Saw 4 troopers today, one with
radar and three with people pulled over, never seen this in VT, ever. I
kindly asked how he got me and he was happy to explain. Said he saw me
passing trucks at a high rate of speed in his mirror, wonder if the redness
of my car helped him spot me. He then came around a blind corner, slammed
on his brakes, and waited on the right hand shoulder. Zapped me with
instant on KA rearward same lane radar. He explained to me that radar
detectors are useless now a days with the technology most the troopers have,
said he's gots 32 bits of technologies in his radar system:) He said he can
even hit cars behind him, while moving, and get accurate speeds, even across
three lanes if he tells the radar to do that, all instant on of course.
Another $188, at least VT won't tell NY about that one. I also promptly
asked about reciprocity and he said that doesn't happen, phew.
Cheers,
