The cops have many new toys to keep the action spirited. These include various radar
devices, some of which can give an instant digital reading of vehicle speeds in three lanes
simultaneously, in any direction.
Against that sort of technology, the road-user would appear to be at a distinct
disadvantage, but devices are available which can detect these traps in good time.
With names like Fuzzbuster and Bearfinder, these black boxes seem to set out to enrage
the officers.
Indeed, several states have made them illegal, although the careful trucker can hide one
well enough to escape a casual inspection of his cab.
.....and more.....
Until the blanket 55mph limit was imposed, many states had their own differing speed
restrictions.
Now the trucker has his rig, a job to go with it, and the pile of paper that makes officialdom
smile upon him, he is, at last, ready to get right on down the road.
At this stage, he comes face to face with the real red tape tangle that will occupy so much
of his time until he says farewell to the highway.
