thongfoto - i know exactly where you are talking about...

also, if you continue northbound on 495 towards tysons corner, there is a trap that they are ALWAYS at right after the 236/little river turnpike exit...this also goes for both sides of 495

thats where they got me for my 100 in a 55...

Great stuff guys! Keep em coming!

Tips for the FULL enjoyment of your S:

1. Have a rabbit (a speeder) in front
2. A good radar detector (V-1 is ideal for VA-DC)
3. A cover (another speeder) on your rear
4. Check all exit ramps for oncoming marked and unmarked cruisers.
5. Frequently check your rearview for rapidly approaching cars.
6. Stay out of the far left lane.
7. Trust your instincts over your eyes.

Be safe and enjoy yourself!

Couple places........

About 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile inside the beltway on Conn Ave. they like to shoot laser on cars heading into the city.
Posted limit is 35mph

On rt. 29 in between rt. 175 and the exit for the mall they always like to sit there at night. One night between the mall exit and rt.108 I literally saw 8 cops either pulling someone over or shooting radar
Posted limit is 55mph

I know this one is very specific buuuuuut.....on Centennial Lane in Ellicott City they actually have radar guns mounted on the street lights with radio transmitters. The cops can then sit way off to the side or in a parking lot where no one can see them and they receive radio transmissions from the street lights. Pretty damn tricky if you ask me!
Posted limit is 35mph

More to come.......

Last Friday I got plucked out of the middle of a group of cars on the outer loop just past the 270 split! The trooper must have been pacing the group because my V1 didn't go off. I didn't see her until she zipped around the car following me and in behind me and lit up the rollers! I was just driving in a pack of cars and she pulled me out of the middle. Yes I was speeding...not the fastest car on the road and not the slowest.

I'd only had the car a week! I guess with an S2k the idea of being in the middle of the pack isn't going to be a good defense anymore if the trooper is going to pull you out of the middle of a group!
