hahaha.

yah, i did motor both sat and sunday and got some footage. im testing out a new mic location for my tascam behind the passenger seat. it's got nice exhast note but im picking up a lot of road noise..especially the hammering from cement parting lines.

i also want to check out if gopro found a way to fix this minor repetitive static clicking i hear when external mic is connected. it's almost like a ground loop problem. the one i got last week was worse than the one i currently have.

Well I was going down a road I've not been on by myself. It was kind of curvy and had no median so I was focused on the road and not the speed limit signs. Got clocked doing 67 in a 45. Who puts a 45mph speed limit on less than a mile section of highway?! Can you say speed trap? Either way, I didn't know I was going that fast, I was looking down at my phone nav and looked up to see a cop.

Yes the Mic location on our cars is tough. My observation is windshield picks up wind noise, hatch area picks up road noise from wheel Wells. I wonder if mounting it externally by tail pipes is good idea? That may create too much noise though.

45 on highway? That is a speed trap....

So you got 22 over and its 325, that's pricey I think mine for 27 over was $120. And I took driving safety course for an additional $90 so ticket would not go on my record.

Wow those prices are way less than you would pay here in california... I got a stop sign ticket and that was 385 + traffic school fees!

Contact an attorney who handles traffic court. It will be worth your time and effort.

so far the best audio has been from the cupholder area using that saitech mount. very balanced between exhaust/low road noise, and music from stereo is very clean.

ive not tried the mic from the exhaust as i didnt feel like adding more problems such as rattles and wind noise.

I need to call the courthouse to see if I am even given the option of defensive driving or not. After so many miles over, it's not an option. Pricing for a county ticket:

Nah, I'm biting the bullet on this one. Mr. BMW was egging me on and I gave in. Just didn't realize that when I looked down at nav he had slowed the eff down and I hadn't. Woo!

Yuck. That seems pricey considering I got a $185 ticket for 50 in a 30 last year (on a road where the speed limit drops from 50 to 30 suddenly - such bull$hit ). I would take gurney's advice and call up a traffic attorney to see what they can do for you.

He probably had radar detection.
