I seem to recall a discussion not long ago where someone else, who has been fairly active in this thread, had trouble accepting non-absolutes...Originally Posted by jrandom
That discussion was basically about morals. You could argue that the same is the case for this thread.

No you are right I am a smarmy prick in real life. And I'm still holding a drivers/ Riders licence. Will you be able to say the same thing in a few weeks???You have difficulty thinking in non-absolutes, don't you?
I wonder if you're such a smarmy prick in real life, too, or whether it's the internet anonymity that brings it out in you.
The internet has nothing to do with it,It's just the way I am,an Old, law abiding,Smarmy, jew burning old bugger.
Come on man, Smarmy Prick, is that the best you can do. I have been insulted by experts and you don't even come into the catagory.

Go back and read that thread, and try to work out whether that person was having you on at the time.I seem to recall a discussion not long ago where someone else, who has been fairly active in this thread, had trouble accepting non-absolutes...
Anyway, this thread's not about right or wrong; it's about which radar detector works best. It's funny how some people get a bit het up on the subject, innit?

My radar detector failed me....admitedly I was trying to use it as a modem at the time but it still failed miserably in that task ....

Sigh.
There was always going to be one, I suppose.
I wasn't trying to insult you. I was trying to describe you.
You do come across as quite unpleasant, y'know. I'm not trying to take digs at you, here, but you certainly seem to have taken exception to me.
Did a motorcyclist riding 20kph over the limit crash and kill your grandmother, or something?

The collective evidence presented on present forum to date, suggest a rather coherent stance on that particular subject - I am tempted to conclude that said person was serious. However, I'd like to be mistaken on that count though.Go back and read that thread, and try to work out whether that person was having you on at the time.
And leave the winky-wanky smiley for Katman - it suits him better.
My point was - and still is - that morals aren't about absolute right and wrong either. But yes, I agree that quite a few reactions witnessed within this thread are rather ridiculous. As I have already said - the Bel STi will be a good investment, but it won't save your arse every time... nothing will.
I do however hope that the proposed legislation banning radar detectors will not be passed. I fear it will be counter productive to the goal of improving road safety.

Best Frenemy you could have!
talk about feeling the love in this threadbtw... has anyone blamed the tickets on the bike? Can I?
Some people don't realise how much some need license. Yes yes, good argument for perhaps not breaking the damn law in the first place, but lets be honest, a bit of speed, in the right circumstances, no issue. Travelled at 200kph in South Africa when it wasn't so monitored, didn't self combust, did I?
Anyway, that topic thing. My point: Cost of a detector for some, even if it stops only one ticket at 1/10th of the price of the detector, still prevented the ticket.
Having lost my license, I know how incredibly annoying it was. Not rich, but the inconvenience to others (not really myself) affected over a hundred people, millions of dollars in affected companies that deal internationally and their respective customers far outweighed a couple of thousand bucks. All dependent on one license...

I really don't give a rat's arse about morals, here. I just want to know what radar detector works best.

ONLY 1/10th of the purchase price??? Most detectors will pay for themself several times over, in its lifetime.

I've saved a FORTUNE by NOT having a radar detector - of course I never speed either. (Well not since the Island Block incident of '87).
If I got a detector would it somehow cause me to actually gain money

Of course. A free set of ginzu knives are included, for a limited time. Call now, our operators are standing by.If I got a detector would it somehow cause me to actually gain money
If you put a detector on the dash next to the radar unit, would the rest of the guys at the station look at you strange?

Never, never give in.
Not tryin to change anybodys opinions here. (You'd need an AK47 to even get close!) but I like Scummy's: "Ships are safe in the harbour - but that's not what ships are for...."I've saved a FORTUNE by NOT having a radar detector - of course I never speed either.

Motorcycles could be substituted for ships. And "Motorcycles are safe at 100ks - but that's not what motorcycles are for..............."
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

True - but some seem to constantly need to cling to a life jacket every time they leave the harbour.....

True. But it's good practice to cling to a life jacket every time your ship leaves the harbour - and use a detector every time your bike goes on the open road.......
