     CHiPies tend to leave you alone if you're moving at flow.  They
also don't use radar, so if you keep an eye out for those cute little
black and white Mustangs you'll avoid the chance of tickets.

     On the subject of radar detectors...  If you have one in your car,
and it goes off, you'll slow down (I don't care *how* fast you're going or
what the speed limit is!).  Isn't this the object of a radar trap, to slow
people down?  From having one I know that they aren't proof against tickets
alone.  I've found a CB *much* more effective on the highways (but I believe
in having both).
