When driving with cruise control, one of the biggest reasons for breaking out of cruise is when you think you see a cop, or the radar detector buzzes. Why not have the radar detector automatically pop you out of cruise? Or better yet, have it drop speed as the RF strength increases and then go back
up to cruising speed when the RF strength drops off.

Hey, if everyone had one of these, the cops could pull people over just by pointing their radar gun at them. |

Me, I'd set up radar emitters to set people's detectors off... |

Good idea. If you get caught with a radar detector here they take it off you, along with $1,000 and a shitload of your 12 demerit points allocation on your driving licence. |

I don't think that radar is even used much even more. Laser versions are far more accurate, and are "point-and-click." No stray emissions around to set off anyone's detectors. If your detector does have a laser thingie on it, it's pretty much useless. If it beeps, they've got you. |

Besides, this is cheating. Speed traps are predictable and can easily be avoided. I've got 6 years driving under my belt, speeding for most of it, and I've yet to get a single ticket. |
