Neither man... we shouldn't need radar! We should have better driving schools that teach people HOW to drive, versus just handing out points and licenses! Soon a license will be able to be bought at a 7-11!

I agree with redbaron but if I were to get caught, I'd prefer it to be photo for obvious reasons.

agreed... :D No demerits.... although I actually think the ticket costs more initially...? Still cheaper in the end!

Personally.. I would rather get caught by a manned radar stop.. 2 reasons.. my radar detector works vs them.. and B, personally I think if someone is going to make me pay for speeding they should be a man and actually give it to me instead of being a pussy and hiding in a van...

of the two, i would choose photo because there are no demerits and if you pay any attention to the side of the road, its a lot easier to dodge.

hmm, running tinted out ford windstar.... well, golly, that there must be photo.

yeah, had that done a few times

lol, my friend and his gf rode past on a motorbike and she flashed the guy as she flipped him off.... that got a lotta pics taken, but they were also doing about 90.

good thing his gf was covering the plate ;) :bigthumbup:

So radar detectors dont pick up photo radar vehicles?

I thought they would, considering they get your speed via radar.

Okay.. thats what I was thinking....

I realise if you are the only car on the road, a radar detector wont help you, because they will be aiming it at you.

But mid day, in moderate traffic, the singal is gonna bounce.

Almost
I'm okay with getting tickets (it is my fault for speeding, so i'll take my lumps)

but photo is just a cash cow....if it were there to slow people down and save lives it would be in the school zone in my neighboor hood not on the whitemud.

+60 in a school zone is a bigger problem than 100 on the whitemud.

If their was one way to sum up my feelings on EPS it would be; the irony that they care more about making $80 from a ticket on the whitemud than saving some kids life... :angry: Which is exactly the attitude they show everytime they park that stupid van on the whitemud.
