The Radar Detector and the Tail Light

A man is tired of getting speeding tickets, so he buys a radar detector.

He’s speeding down the highway and suddenly the patrol car pulls up behind him and pulls him over. Detector never went off.

Pissed, he realizes maybe he should have bought a better one. He spends a bit more money and gets one that claims to have superior radar detection technology. It costs more, but if it saves him a ticket, it’s worth it.

Sure enough, within a week, he’s on the highway and the blue and red lights come on. Another ticket.

He can’t afford another point on his license, so he goes out and buys the most expensive, most highly rated radar detector he can find.

Within days the police show up behind him again. He’s furious. He pulls the detector out of the dash, gets out of the car and smashes it to bits on the ground, and is jumping up and down on the pieces. He sees the officer, standing and watching him.

“WHAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHY DON’T THESE POS DETECTORS WORK?”

Officer says, “Just wanted to let you know your left tail light is out.”
