    Default do you slow down?

    I never did get it.

    Whats the point?

    If i'm "speeding", 9 times out of 10 I know I'm going over the speed limit. I don't need a sign to validate the obvious, I DO have a speedometer.
    I see people speed pass them all the time, ignoring "your speed".

    How many people slow down when they see one of these radar speed signs? I always saw them as a waste of tax dollars, lol.

    I don't know. Unless they're cool enough to take a picture of your tag and send a citation to your address, I see'em as a waste of tax dollars as well.

    So I just keep on rollin'.

    What I hate are the idiots in front of me that slam on their brakes when the sign says they're doing 46 in a 45 like they're about to get sent to jail for 25-life if they get caught

    I do. Only because I don't know if there is a cop hiding somewhere or if the damn thing will take a pic of my tag.

    Some of them are equipt with cameras on the rear that get a picture of your tag then you get them in the mail. When I still road bmx I road past one and it registered 17 mph lol. Not sure about the baseball thing though. And xxbckiexx Is right to an extent I road past one on my bike and it didn't pick me up for some reason, but another one did. Guess there selective.

    I usually speed up to see what I can get it to register by the time I pass it. Down here we dont have cameras (yet).

    HONESTLY, I usually floor it, I've NEVER seen one here in Athens with a camera. If they had them I'd slow down.

    The one outside my apartment in Texas never picked my car up. I mean other cars would pass and I'd see their speed but it never did anything for mine.

    I like seeing how accurate my speedometer is with those.

    I usedto work out in Madison and every morning on the way they had a speed trap on the highway. I always speed up(this was when I had the boosted civic) and I would always try to make it go over 100 but it never would. I went by it at 105 all the way to 135. It never went over 100...

    I don't speed up or slow down. I do around the speed limit If I'm the first/only car, if not, I just cruise with traffic.
