Do those things that u put on your license plate work? The ones that supposedly dont reflect radar? Anyone have any experience?

I have a flat spot on one of my alloys that sets off a terrific rattle at exactly 67 mph.

No, those things that you put over the license plate don't work. They do exactly what they are intended to do - make money for the manufacturer and nothing else. Same thing for "Jammers".

I use my eyes. Served me well for 11 years so far. Can't beat the price either

I have the kind of radon dector you mount to the celing... like in the basement,
and then if there is a leak or something it makes this buzzy sound and
wakes everybody, just like a smoke detector, except even on the coolest ones
it doesn't give you an LED readout or anything like that... you still just have to
call in an expert, or buy one of those dectors that like actually catches the radon,
and then you can send it out to a lab or something, except that I heard that
sometimes those labs don't all do a good job, so you have to check around
and get references, because like some of those labs might just have high-school
kids or something working there who are like eating their cheeseburges and fries
and like not really paying attention to stuff, just like this one time when I had the
carburetor rebuilt on my lawn-mower and found out later that there were french fries
stuck in there and that's why it still didn't work right, and so I complained and complained
and finally when they took it apart and found the fries and I said "Hey you need to
fix that" and the guy said "hey it's not our problem, why don't like call Burger King or
something" and then I called Burger King because I thought they were serious, and then
they kept sending me back to the lawn mower shop, and then nobody ever did
fix it, and so finally I just ate the fries... anyway, it's all just like that.

My eyes serves me fine as well, for the past 6yrs

Being a frequent speeder myself since I had my licence at 16, I must say that I am quite lucky to not receive a single speeding ticket *knocks on wood*

Viperoni, no radar detector is allowed up here in Canada? Then why do I see them forsale at shops? You can buy, but can't use??
