Oh..... You think so. I've been a motorcycle rider for years. I have a perfect driving record. I aslo have marksman training. What does that all mean??? I am probably one of the most observant individuals you will ever talk to. I am telling you that there will be occasions where you WILL NOT see them until 500 ft. They are sneaky. I got popped in the face by a MA statie using a Laser Atlanta at about 175 ft. I didnt see him and he didnt see me until about 200ft. He got jammed for that complete 1.5 second rondevouz. You can use math to determine how fast I was travelling. It is not uncommon for CT staties, especially the guy out on eastern I-84 with the unmarked Charger, to hide behind bridge support columns. I had trouble spotting him in the daytime. Imagine if it were night. Don't rely on the 1500 ft thing. That is not a rule. Just be observant and drive safe.
And in MA, I believe the record right now is at 1790 ft. Don't ask me how I know...
