The Taconic is heavilly patrolled by our state troopers, especially between Albany and south to route 55. I travel the Taconic every day. As you know, it is twisty it can be very narrow in certain areas. There are tons of sneeky places where the staties can hide. I've seen them in very narrow sections of the parkway whith just enough of a grass shoulder for one car. One trooper faces the traffic and the other one is facing the direction of traffic. The first one gets you on radar and the second pulls out and gives you the ticket. Very effective.
As others have stated, being polite and straigth with the troopers is a must. A traffic stop has the potential for turning deadly. I can't imagine putting on a bullet proof jacket to go to work in my community. In the many years I have travelled the Taconic I have collected about six speeding tickets. I have always pleaded not guilty and gone to court. In my experience they will always work out a deal with you. I have asked if they could find a way to keep points off my license. I wasn't too concerned about the fine. It worked a couple of times. The fine is a one shoot deal. The insurance hike lasts for years. I have purchased a Valentine One radar detector. It has payed for itself twenty times over. It move from car to car with me. You just plug it in to the cigarette lighter.
