I'm perfectly happy with the current paradigm, which is: I can speed if I'm being alert enough to avoid being seen by cops,

Of course you are. The fact that you've got a radar detector in your car (at least I remember you've installed one once) doesn't come into play here I'm sure!

No all countries are so tolerant when it comes to radar detectors. If I'm caught using one over here, the detector gets immediately confiscated + an fine that would make anybody's head spin is thown my way.
