Actually that would be a good idea. Why harass everyone else driving on the road at night just to catch a few drunks when they can prevent them from driving in the first place much easier. And all the other innocent folks won't get hassled or slowed down. And it would not be that hard to implement.Originally Posted by Dobe Mejuwa
BTW: those crash avoidance systems on the new cars use the same radar frequency that the police use to catch speeders. Now I see why my Radar Detector is going nuts most of the time I'm on the road. It use to only go off when a police car pointed their radar at me or when I went by a business with an automatic door opener system that uses that radar frequency too. K, Ka and X ban are the most used Police Radar Frequencies that I'm aware off. My Radar Detector is old. I got it back in the early 1990's when I had to drive from Evansville to Indianapolis one summer for work each Sunday Night. I was working in the Marathon Oil Refinery that summer checking all the pipe runs, valves and other stuff for asbestos insulation. They set us up in a small trailer right next to the CO combustion unit which had a tendency to catch on fire from time to time. I'll never forget that summer. The boss rented an apartment for us and didn't spring for a telephone in there. So we used a cell phone to call home. The Cell phone belonged to a client of ours who loaned it to us to use on the job. It was called the "Brick" and it weighted a ton and looked like a cell phone from NASA in the 1970's. You older guys might remember them. You younger folks would think of it as Pre Flip Phones. My daughter started out with a better cell phone that that back in 1994. In just two short years the cell phones matured into smaller units. Now I have a fancy smart phone that tells me when it's time to go to the doctor or anything else I want it to tell me about.
