- Learn to recognize headlight shapes and the placement of the running
- lights. I'm a little more conservative right now, but once I get the new
- Caprice's and Crown Victoria's down . . . . Also, it's nice to find a pack
- of traffic driving at your desired speed and get 1/4 mile ahead of them.
- Just watch to see if they all slow down suddenly.

- Not in the freeway. It's saved me a few times on local roads, though,
- and if I'd had the detector with me, or paid attention to it a couple of
- other times, I'd have even fewer tickets.
