Re: Radar Detection

Wow.  I'll remember if I ever drive in Holland to rent a puny diesel so I 
can't speed!

Actually here in LA it's a bit similar.  When the freeways aren't jammed 
(that's about 1 hour a week!) one can speed.  But since there's so many 
cars, radar is useless.  So the CHP does WWII P-51 air patrol--they weave 
slowly in the slowest lanes, on and off exits to/from freeways, to catch 
those not paying attention & speeding in the left lanes.  I've watched from 
behind (luckily), pretty sneaky.
