Rhoades says his runs were awful, so these must be worse than awful:

I got out before the snow got too bad, but did run into this (twice):

We thought that was your black Corvette on the side of the road. Did you have a radar detector? I noticed that the radar in Nevada seemed to photo style or instant on.

I just set the cruise control to 74 on 93/318/6/93A.... I figure 74 in a 24Klbs rig is fast enough....

[Max Hayter]

How fast were you going Jason?

[Jason Munchhof]

How fast were you going Jason?

In the incident pictured only 82. At that speed I typically don't worry about cops over here... no radar detector in the car, I'll bring it next year.

Damn - that's harsh!

Nevada traffic cops are notoriously nasty. Wife born & raised in Reno so we're in the area often. A while back wife got cited for 32 in a 25 on a two block stretch with this special reduced speed (trap) limit. The cops sit in private driveways out of sight. Near my father in laws place is a school zone - 15mph when school is in session. Not unusual for folks to get whacked for doing 20 mph (or less).

We're you cited both times?

[Jason Munchhof]

We're you cited both times?

Unfortunately yes. I don't think it was a great idea to tell the 2nd guy that I already got tagged.

[Doug Kott]

I'm sorry for your misfortune, and it's great you can keep your sense of humor about it. Let's hope, with the law of averages, that you're safe for another 15 years!!!

I got one too: 70 mph towing a trailer, 15 miles from the Nevada border where doing the same thing is legal.

Did some research and indeed Nevada HP is using POP radar. Still worth having a detector.

It is, because the wave travels pretty far along a flat surface. If he zaps a car a few miles in front of you, you'll still get an indicator. I'm pissed I didn't bring mine. I almost did but figured how much trouble can I get into towing a freakin' trailer :unimpressed:

[Randy Chase]

The 15-20 miles across the state border is a known area... plus we were getting all kinds of alarms on the V1.
