While we certainly don’t condone speeding at the wheel, we’re not going to beat around the bush in this matter: it feels good to avoid a speeding ticket, especially when you’re confident that you should have received one. More broadly speaking, it’s just good not to get pulled over — the less time you spend
Here’s a go-to scenario that we’ve described for our readers in the past: you’re driving down the highway, minding your own business. You’re on a stretch of the interstate with nearly no one around you, and to help speed up your road trip, you’re going just a tad over the posted speed limit. That’s no
Millions of Americans are currently driving somewhere as you read this sentence. These drivers might be headed to work, running a simple errand, or heading over to a friend’s house. Perhaps they’re merging onto the freeway and headed several hours away from their home, or even embarking on an exciting cross-country road trip for the
If you’ve lived on this planet for just about any period of time (and you’re old enough to read this), then you’ve experienced that unfortunate, heart-sinking moment when something goes wrong. Maybe you studied hard for an exam and received a failing grade, or maybe your longtime significant other sends you a text saying, “We
Some people use their vehicles for a simple ten-minute drive to work, and that’s all the time that they’ll spend behind the wheel. Others brave a longer weekday commute, happy to be done with their post-work drive and dreading the fact that their pre-work drive is over. Many build their entire career around driving from
Drivers in the United States rack up a horrendous amount of speeding tickets every single year — millions of them. According to the Esurance blog, the average cost of a speeding ticket in the United States hovers around a modest $150, but maximum fines for speeding can vary by more than $2,400 from state to
Are you on the road quite a bit? Perhaps you put more miles on your vehicle than the national average annual mileage, but maybe you have a friend who drives for a living. The reality of the United States is that our country is geographically spread out and diverse, meaning that we’re essentially forced to
If you’ve had the misfortune of seeing your rear view mirror light up in red and blue, there’s one thought that naturally pops up in your head (after a series of expletives): “Why did I get pulled over?” Chances are, that’s the first question that the police officer will ask you, too. You probably don’t
Depending on where you live, winter conditions may differ greatly: perhaps you live up north and your roads are covered in snow for three months on end, or maybe you live down south and “winter” doesn’t affect your driving experience. Some states get a dynamic winter season marked by 75 degree days in December and
A great product or service isn’t worth its salt if people aren’t backing it up with reviews. Rocky Mountain Radar is fortunate to have amassed some 266 ratings/reviews (as of this writing) from a total of four verified review platforms, most of which have been overwhelmingly positive. With criteria like quality, value, timeliness, experience and
More often than not, we tend to take driving for granted here in the United States. It’s true that our country is massively spread out and driving for hours on end isn’t as efficient as taking high-speed public transportation in Europe or Japan, but that’s just how things are. We hop in our vehicles, expect
The brilliance with automobiles is that you can drive just about anywhere, anytime, completely on your own free will. Sure, you’ll need money for gas and you’ll want to obey the rules of the road, but the often-taken-for-granted freedom of driving is that we can go from Point A to Point B as we please.
Let’s be honest: there’s a certain stigma against radar detectors and the drivers that choose to use them. We’ll be fair; there are many cases where those who are actively avoiding unwanted attention from the cops also happen to be driving like jerks on the road. Like just about anything you’ll encounter in life, there
Driving from Point A to Point B: it’s just a fact of life and a seemingly unavoidable reality here in the United States. Unless you’re a city dweller living downtown and taking advantage of the public transportation system (the stories you get from riding the New York City subway are worth their weight in gold,
Exactly what is it that catches the attention of the police? Put yourself in an officer’s shoes for just a moment. Beyond issuing speeding tickets to meet their monthly quota, a police officer is looking for anything that could compromise the safety of themselves and, more importantly, other drivers on the road. Of course, the
No one appreciates wasting their time by getting pulled over, and we’re absolutely certain that no one enjoys paying a speeding fine out of pocket. If you’re like most people, then you’ve been cruising on the highway on your way to work, school, a meeting, or some other timely obligation. The mere sight of a
In our previous post, we touched on what you should do in the unfortunate event that you get pulled over. While that’s no fun, it’s important to know what you should do because, for many people, getting pulled over is an eventuality — that is, if they aren’t using a police radar scrambler from Rocky
You’re driving off to a client meeting in a frenzy, when all of the sudden, it happens: you see the dreaded flashing red and blue in the rearview mirror. Cursing yourself for speeding and not buying the best radar detector on the market from Rocky Mountain Radar, you naturally succumb to the law and safely
There’s only one thing that’s more frustrating than dealing with other drivers on the road when you’re in a hurry: getting pulled over. The moment that you see those flashing red and blue lights is the moment your heart sinks, knowing that you’re going to be much later than you originally anticipated. To state the
Here’s the scenario: you’re happily driving down the road, minding your own business, when all of the sudden, the unthinkable yet all-too-predictable occurs: you get pulled over by the police. After glancing at your vehicle’s speedometer, you immediately realize why you’re being pulled over — you’re going just 5 mph over the speed limit, but
