And how long until having a 500 HP muscle car is a demonstration of willful intent to speed? It's a slippery argument.

Acceleration != speed. Muscle cars accelerate fast. Disabling a speed governor ordered to be installed by a judge is as black and white as it gets.


Then why is a radar detector also verboten in VA? Radar != speeding


> Radar != speeding

You think a radar return cannot be used to calculate the speed of a constant-velocity object?

If a judge ordering you to install a speed governor because you keep getting tickets for excessive speeding is a proximate concern, maybe the problem isn’t the radar detector.
