The police are "road testing" a new type of speed reader.  They are
visible light based.  

Driver's Drawbacks To Date.
   o Impossible to detect electronically.
   o Dificult to spot.
   o Imopssilbe to jam.

Police Drawbacks To Date.
   o Matte Black cars don't show up.

Question on radar.  Has anyone designed the stealth buick yet?
