Just to add a little humor what I sometime found amusing was sitting at a light behind someone with a radar detector in view of me. You can hit the same button I mentioned above and make their radar ping over and over again. If you're really good you can tone out different songs like shave and a haircut, etc. Drives them crazy and they usually turn it off.

The musical "ping" definitely made me smile. I wish that had been available when I was in uniform......

Of course, we had our own repertoire of options, some of which would most likely be frowned on today but were OK back then.

Pray -- Do Tell!!
