lol when ur speeding at 120 and u get a KA band u have choices.. mm choices are good
u can either A hit the brakes as hard as u can and hope he didnt notice yet or u can B swirve off the road and make a U turn
if u do get pulled over u can request the court & trial to be in the county u live in.. so hopefully the cop wont show.. lol i had a friend that got off 3 tickets from flordia to california.. but that was outta state

i just made that run, i picked up ka radar about three times. chp sometimes drives with it on which is nice. didnt get any lidar signals, i know they are using that in palm springs route but not on the 15 from what ive seen. i made the run from oc to vegas in under three hours

wax your hood well before you go, it keeps the rock chips and bugs down a bit.

I left san diego once at 4:30 am and got to Vegas at 8 am. You do the math 300 miles in 3.5 hours. Let's just say the V1 was my eyes and ears. I did get one or two close calls but the V1 gave me about a mile of notice (nice flat roads) so I got down to speed and just rolled by.
You need to watch out for planes. That's what gets you. Radar detectors don't pick those up. But that's why i leave early in the morning

Just went to Vegas this past weekend for the NHRA sport compact event.I was cruising around 90 most of the time.I saw only 2 chp the whole time. One thing the chp does do is fly overhead & clock your speed, & call down to someone on the groud to get you.There are signs posted "patrolled by aircraft"

I just got back from a week long business trip to the Global Gaming Expo in Vegas. Left Sunday the 11th at about 12:30 and arrived there just past 3:00. I only saw one CHP on the southbound side of the 15 the whole way up. On the way back home I saw two CHP in the middle of the freeway due to a fire in Barstow. The patrol is usually not that bad at all. I don't even have a detector to use.
