The only way to avoid them is to defeat them. The new Escort 9500xi has a GPS feature that allows you to program where the cameras are and will chirp when you approach one. The speed cameras don't use radar, but rather ground sensors or some kind of vascar. So your normal RD won't pick them up. I'm thinking of putting up a strip of aluminum foil on my windshield. I saw a thing about Lindsay Lohan doing that and it ruined a lot of paparazzis' photos while she was driving away. In AZ they need a clear photo of the driver's face and rear plate. So I also need to get the last two characters on my plate obscured somehow. The kicker is that on a lot of the roads around here, the ground sensors are in three of the four highway lanes. So you could get a ticket if the camera gets you, even if someone else tripped it unless you were in the lane with no sensor in it. I've heard there's not much of a court for these and you're basically guilty until proven innocent.
