Replying to: steve_ (Jan 19, 2009 8:46 am) That extends the tread life of the tires--she knows what she's doing!  I'm still looking for an inexpensive jammer to use when within 60 feet of a driver on a cellphone that's a danger to traffic. |

Replying to: ruking1 (Jan 19, 2009 8:53 am) I didn't see any links that said otherwise, except for competition tires taking laps.

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 19, 2009 8:55 am)  ) . Again I was in the slow lane going 45 mph (or so) in the right (slow) lane. Jensad would know the EXACT freeway, but I digress, as most folks move along at 80-95 mph ! I look way ahead and see what seems to be a highway patrol again parked perpendicular to on coming traffic. As I come within better sight of the officer, he has the radar gun going on, and I maintain 45 mph and surprisingly so does EVERYONE else in the other lanes, for a couple of miles beyond the parked patrol cars location !

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 19, 2009 8:52 am) Maybe a plot for a b movie with a 2009 version of Charles Bronson, with a jammer driving around and breaking up calls. But, could that be more dangerous in that the cell phone driver would then get upset and try to redial and would fumble around. The ultimate Bronson jammer would, of course, fry the cell phone. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jan 19, 2009 8:52 am) Upscale opera houses and symphony halls have powerful jammers that can cease all cell phones in the auditorium. Personal jammers for use in quiet restaurants are available for less than $300. I don't know if their radius of effectiveness will reach into adjacent vehicles, but they would be handy while riding the bus or commuter train.

While on a divided 4 lane road (not a highway) I noticed in my rear view mirror that someone was behind another car in the left lane flashing their brights (as this car had fallen behind the group of cars that I was behind. Funny thing was that there was no one in the right lane blocking her from passing. Eventually she did pass on the right. Ok she passed on the right got back in the left lane and caught up with the rest of the pack. She got about a car length ahead of me (I was in the right lane) and was blocked. Now there was several cars in front of her but she just got behind the one car infront of her and turned on her brights.

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 19, 2009 10:46 am) Upscale opera houses and symphony halls have a lot of concrete and steel beams that block cell signals. They don't need to jam anything as you wouldn't be able to get a signal unless there is a repeater in the building.
