Can radar detectors be used to avoid speed traps?
Though several states have made them illegal, some drivers use a special device that is installed in the car to tell them when they are approaching an officer with a speed-detecting radar gun. This allows the driver to slow down, before he or she reaches the officer, and risks getting a speeding ticket. Some states, however, have adopted new technologies that shut speed detectors down, and so the best defense against speeding tickets is to simply drive the legal limit.
