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.
Many years ago Car and Driver did a radar test and they found the
radiator was the biggest target, followed by the headlights.
The corvette was the lowest reflectivity car they tested (fiberglass
body, retracting headlights and a tilted radiator)
These days, if I wanted a laser resistant car, I would get one with
retracting headlights and paint the nose with bed liner material
It would buy you several hundred feet anyway.
They also sell a laser jammer. It basically floods the road in front
of you with IR noise. Again, you get a few hundred feet.
I just drive 65. Max.
I will go 5-7 over.. It's an unwritten but well known fact that the CT
State Police will not tag you for less than ten over on the
interstates... unless there are other circumstances of course.. But in
general you will not get a ticket for 74 in a 65....
