It’s really funny here. When it snows and the roads get slick, people speed up. It’s the same in Los Angeles when it rains. People tend to drive faster and get more aggressive. There’s one day here every year around the start of winter, when you hear it on the radio, how many fender benders there were on the highway. It’s always alarming to hear it, and it’s usually in the upwards of a few hundred.
There’s a lot of accidents out there and speed is always a factor. I don’t want to sound like Mother Theresa but slow down around school and playground zones. Drive defensively and don’t practice nor encourage road rage.
Ok, enough about safe driving. I know it all goes out the window when you get a traffic ticket in the mail citing that you had speeded. It’s no use denying it because there’s a photo of your car attached to the ticket. Isn’t there a law about snapping your picture without consent? Oh I forgot, they are the law.
Anyways, I was off to Best Buy to shop for a radar detector. After paying $120 for my ticket, I figured it would be the last time that they were going to photograph me without my knowing. The salesguy tried to sell me the new Cobra XRS- R9G for $500. I liked the wireless remote display that you snap onto your dashboard. No wires like the old way, where you had your radar detector attached to the windshield and a cord to the 12V cigarette outlet. He explained the unit had 12 bands to detect all sorts of radar and the best thing was its ability to notify you of any red light cameras by GPS. Cool. Before I dropped my bills, I wanted to come back and check out the price on the net. When I was driving back, I was behind this dirty truck with muddy plates. A light bulb lit up or should I say, a ray of light hit me – why don’t I just muddy my plate so these cameras can’t identify me? It turns out that there’s a spray you can buy that obscures your license. It puts a glare in the middle of your plate so it’s hard to make out what your license is. For more information about this spray, come and visit our site but I’ll have to drop it in some secret place. Like radar detectors, I would guess that this may be illegal in some states.
