451 smart fortwo

Many members have installed Radar detectors and Jammers in their Smarts. Anti Photo Spray is also popular with many people. Do you use a radar detector and what brand? Any stories you would like to share with the group.

Before we could get going we almost got shut down. The CHP takes its roads and laws seriously. Our club members were lucky not to get ticketed and the CHP let us continue. It is always good to follow posted signs and pay attention as you drive specially in construction zones.

I'm not going to bother installing radar detectors or laser jammers.

I guess we all sometimes fly blind. I just ran into another Smart owner who picked up a speeding ticket. Doing 81mph in a 451. $350 ticket.

I was flying Inter 70, Denver to Vail and the cop radared my car started after me but it's hard to catch a 911RS and specially when I was doing 120 and he was sitting on the side of the ramp.
