While on a 16 hour drive back from vacation, one of the things that struck me - while going through a state where Radar Detectors are illegal - was that today, we use laptops in cars for Mapping, Wardriving and other things.. how come I have not seen Radar Detector software? Maybe I have not really spent time looking for it.. or is there even such a thing?

Up until the last year or so, I always had a radar detector in my car. The more it beeped, the happier I was. Although, I am not one to speed (ok, I have been known to go 5mph above the speed limit - and that is honestly about as much as I speed. I refuse to take the chance of getting a ticket or getting into a wreck speeding. I guess old age has gotten to me - The consequences of higher insurance rates seem like an unnecessary expense to me, so it is easier just not to speed), I enjoy listening and watching the radar detectors go off. I have owned 3 of them since I was 16. The last one (I still have it somewhere) is a Cobra. The latest one I had did all of the K, X and other bands, plus laser and construction warnings. I guess maybe I am addicted to beeps?
