Don't be misled by what I wrote. Last night I was driving with a
group of 18 wheelers, who keep in contact via CB radios, and they
alert one another about radar traps. What I experienced may not
be the "norm" and there may be radar/plane enforcement measures
used at other times. If I were the only one on the road last night,
I'd probably be paranoid -- and be driving between 60 & 63!
