Radar detectors are illegal in Alabama. It doesn't really matter much any more, because a lot of PD's and SO's use laser type speed devices anyway- and they can't be detected by radar detectors. Anyway, I advise truck drivers to get rid of the things- but I don't routinely break them. Realising that most of these guys make a living doing what they are doing, I try not to cite them- unless they are really, really impaired or doing something really, really dumb. (Both have happened.) <br /> <br />Horns fall under a weird sort of judgement call. Ordinary people can't use sirens. A locomotive whistle, for all intents and purposes, is a warning device along those lines. About the only reason I can see citing someone with a train whistle is if they were disturbing the peace- like firing the thing off sitting at a traffic light right next to me at three AM. To me, it's really no different than someone with a stereo cranked up so loud you can hear it a block away. Nice to have, but a nuiscance to the folks stuck listening to it. <br /> <br />Erik
