anyone who ever has 30 minutes to kill

[Craig 94 TA GT]

Has anyone ever checked out "how to get out of a speeding ticket" on ebaumsworld? If you haven't and have 30 minutes to kill, try this: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/irocspeeding.html

For those who don't have the time or don't want their IQ dropped in the next 30 minutes, here's a summary:
Guy calls in radio saying how to get out of a ticket. He drives an '86? Iroc T-tops and says it's got 270 horses. He said since he waxes it everyday, the radars do not work on it. Also, the tinted windows "reflect" the radar to read the cops speed. As lastly, the neon around his license plate distracts the radar. Don't forget the "radars don't work on sweet cars." Those "facts," intimidating & lecturing the cops, and actually stopping for them will get you out of a ticket.
Oh yea, Yosemite Sam mud flaps and a chain linked steering wheel will give you more power
BTW, I loved it when this guy thinks he has the fastest car ever built, then the guy w/ the '99 Z w/ 352 RWHP calls in.

I still can't believe people like this exist...

I heard that before... I have to think that it was staged. If now, I am in awe that someone can actually have that mentality. Only thing that kinda upsets me, they are in-a-way making fun of camaro owners.(Espically 3rd gens)

It was staged... the radio station pranked itself in that one. Still funny though.

I like when the 99 Z28 guy calls in and tells him the HP, and the IROC guy goes, "is that LEGAL?????"

How to get out of a speeding ticket:
DON'T SPEED!!!

About the waxing, it's not true. You can take it from me my college major is in law enforcement and it's also my strongest obsession.

The neon around the license plate, also doesn't work; some people say LED lights around the license plate, this also doesn't work; tin foil doesn't work; rigging a microwave to your hood doesn't work; reflective tape, doesn't work; chaff projectiles don't work; tinted windows don't work. There is only one thing that only comes close: a large pinwheel shaped device spinning on your car, spinning at a slower speed than that at which you're traveling. This device has a chance to lower the radar gun result by about 2 mph. Obviously it's not too helpful and it looks as stupid as hell!

Dude, we all realize this. The only real way to actually fool a rader would be the same way that a stealth fighter/bomber does it...radar-absorbtion material along with a small side silhouette with very smooth contours. Sheesh

car and driver did a test a few years ago with the KA band radar and found that a completly black car with no chrome showing was better deflecting radar waves than the same car of a different color. The black car (which happened to be a sedan of some sort) could not be locked until 200-250 feet directly in front of the car. So the color and lack of flashy chrome can help. It by no means will stop you from getting a ticket but may help you if you keep your eyes open by giving you a few more seconds to react. Also another good way to beat a speeding ticket is to get a radar detector... Mine works at upto 4 miles Laser your screwed but the radar lser jammers do work as I personaly have tested it with the local police department at the airport here in my town. ( they come out to our drag night in the summer and race their intercepter and patrol cars against the "kids" in town )
