Cops!
Within a month of buying my car, I received two tickets. One for 96 in a 75 and one for running a stop sign. (Both were BS and I beat both) 
I bought the escort passport 9500. No problems since. Highly recommended! Great gadget.
I did get stopped one other time for switching lanes too frequently. I received a warning. Here is what the officer told me: The law is that you can change lanes twice without signaling in florida. Anything more can be considered reckless driving and can result in a very nasty ticket! Keep that in mind when traveling the Florida highways.

I hate it when people change lanes without signaling. That's especially true if there are multiple lane changes. I can see why you got stopped.
The radar detector should help you. I use one too, and it's a useful tool if used properly.

I'm not reckless guys! Jeez, tough crowd. Who among us hasn't driven with some spirit on the highway? Maybe a nice '72 Fleetwood would suit u better. Ride the right lane all the way to church!

that cop was stroking you...here's the law:
'You must use hand signals or directional signals to show that you are about to turn. Turn signals are required when changing lanes or overtaking a vehicle.'

the 96 in a 75 was on I95 a couple days before xmas. No one was on the road at the time in Brevard county, it was early on a weekend. Cops sd he "had" to ticket me because he was watching out for people during the holiday time. I asked him to look out for me for xmas and not give me a ticket... he didn't like that too much.

Pretty much all of my driving is "spirited" but somehow, I always find time to signal - and with ample advanced notice. That's the kind of thing that easily pisses off other drivers that might use their cell phones to generate unwanted attention for me.

The majority of us save it for the track...
Actually your posts suggest that you are reckless. You have bragged about breaking the law and suggested that the rest of us who follow the laws and drive respectfully are not worthy of owning a high performance vehicle.
+1000 - guys like you are dangerous and usually the ones who cause accidents.

Exactly....on my way to the track I'm in the right lane just cruising and relaxing. On the track I'm on the button and trying to push the car to my limits. No way I can get the same thrill on a highway no matter how many times I change lanes.
