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.

kenchan · 07-16-2012, 12:40 PM

wow, pint, sorry to hear.

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.
