Naah. I gotta 400K CP Q-beam for when I feel adverse to that (I ain't no
slowpoke, so if you're tailgating me, you must have to go REAL bad).
A better idea, one I keep saying Real Soon Now to is a momentary switch
placed on the steering wheel that *disables* your brake lights, say for
the times your radar detector goes off on a full instant-on blast and
full braking power is required (80-55 in under 2 sec oughta fool the
gun :-), actually works, ya know), without triggering the lights, which
gives the cop a little more drive in his quest for revenue enhancement.
