“Well hello, Speed Racer. Stay in your car and keep your hands where I can see them. I need to see your license and registration. <looks at driver’s license> Ohhhhhh…you have a German last name. You thought you were on the Autobahn, didntcha?”
“No, officer.”
“Well is there a medical emergency that would explain why I clocked you going 91mph in a 65mph zone?”
“Yes, officer. I can feel a seizure coming on and I wanted to get home as fast as possible.”
“Whoa Nelly, that’s the best one I’ve heard all week. You got proof?”
“If we wait long enough, you’ll have a front row seat. Or you can just look at my medical ID bracelet.”
“Well look at that. We got real-life epileptic with a life-long cover story. But, I’m not buying it, Buckey. If you need medical assistance, you need to call 9-1-1 instead of trying to drive 91mph. Wait here while I run your plate and write your ticket.”
Speed Racer now has to decide whether he should fake a seizure, but all of this could have been avoided. New Egg has an entry-level WHISTLER XTR-130 Laser/Radar Detector for a mere $30 and about $2 in shipping. This detector is rated 5 stars after 2 reviews at New Egg (and 5 stars after 3 reviews at Buy.com). It offer 360 degree protection from all kinds of lasers and it also has X, K, Ka, and Super Wideband Ka detection. There are 3 different city modes and the ability to adjust what kind of sensitivity level you want. Say it with me, Speed Racer: “$30 at New Egg”.
Now go fake that seizure.
