Hello spridgets,
generally acknowldeged as the BEST radar detector is
the VALENTINE ONE. spendy but the best. there's a
websight somewhere that has a comparo test, i think.
on the subject of that 3rd brake light people seem to
be adding, i only wonder WHY? .. ...the statistics
cited by Joan Claybrook and the IHSS before the
manufacturers were FORCED to add them were that it
would save 2500 to 3200 accidents per year. when the
results came in it was closer to 600. yet we have been
FORCED to have them in all new cars. .....
reminds me
too of one of my pet peeves, AIR BAGS. they were to
have been "passive restraint" systems wherein the
people who were too stupid and lazy to fasten their
seatbelts would be protected despite themselves. now
we are forced not only to carry the toxic sodium azide
that powers them in our cars but ALSO to fasten our
seat belts ANYWAY. and the statistics show that for
every 10 adults saved by the air bags, 1 child is
killed that would not have been otherwise BY THE
AIRBAG! if they had said, we want to install this
safety device in all cars at a cost of $500 that will
kill kids at the rate of 10% for every adult life
saved, would the people have ever allowed it to
happen?
