Not really. The newer detectors are *much* smarter, and the adaptive cruise controls and collision avoidance systems don't even register on them.

This is the one I have:

Dies it really help that much these days with the triggered guns and
the lasers?
Since I left Maryland, the speed trap capital of the world, I really
have not been paying much attention



I don't know about other states but in MA the license plates (or "tags"
as some call them) have a coating designed to optimally reflect the
lasers used in speed traps. It's the preferred "target".

Some of the old MA plates were issued with one plate only .. to be
mounted on the rear of the car. Can't get them anymore. Cops want two
plates and require both to be on the car.

SC only has one plate, mounted on the rear. I don't run a front "vanity" plate for that very reason.


The cops use your headlights then as their secondary target.

Heh. That should really scatter the laser!

Speaking of SC, I'll be making a trip down there soon to start scoping
out new house potentials. Was hoping the one up here would sell first
but winter is around the corner and we'd like to be out of here before
the snow starts flying.

What area? Winter is coming quick. We're getting our first freeze this Sunday. Back in the 70's next week, though.
