Yes- -it's my new tiny digi-cam. It's a Sony DSC-U20 - SOOOO small. 2.0 MP cam. just one handed the wheel - watched the road - it's an automatic. And took pix as fast as I could.

BrentA: I go to Penn State - hence why I'm in state collegge. I went that was on I-80 between aorund mile marker 140s-170s at 1 AM on a Wed. I've NEVER had a cop problem there - ever. Just a lot of trucks in the right lane, and very good visability - no worries about a truck coming up too fast.
vtecaccord01: The ONLY radar detector I'd recommend is a valentine One. They are available ONLY from valentineone.com - they don't have re-sellers. THey are EXPENSIVE at $400 - but ALWAYS test the best, have direction indecators, etc. I got mine VERY lightly used on eBay, full kit and all for $350 - so I saved $50 - but that was luck.
As far as the Police scanners - I'm not sure about their legality - hence it's in the glove box - I got that on eBay as well - a Uniden BearTracker BCT-7 ... it's the only one I know of when I researched geting one - that was a warning sound and light if you're within 3 miles of highway/state police repeaters. IT WORKS. You set the stae you live in - and it does much of the rest. Of course it can scan Weather and news things, etc. etc. - but I use it only in the car - obviosuly - for police/highway police and occasionally for CB convos - if I'm not speeding.
Story: I was about 1 mile away - I idnd't know it at the time - from a speed trap. Well a guy got cought in it, and it went off well in time, far before my radar detector.
BUT - I DID recently get a ticket for 63 in a 45 .... wrote it up as non-points though. I'm satill fighting it. But the cop was using 'Instatn on radar' so the radar ONLY went off at the LAST second - and I got it down to around 63 from 80. Still saved me from MUCH bigger problems - but read on valentineone.com about instant-on radar, etc. if you're curious.

Uh oh. I hope my post isn't going to start some national 'drive really fast' craze among Accord owners.
Hah - good work - but let's not make this a kind of competition.
Safety is my main concern.
