Blinder Laser Jammers - Saved me big this weekend
Coming home late last night from Virginia, on the NJ Turnpike North, truck lanes approaching Interchange 14 near Newark airport.
Very few cars on the road, speed around 90mph... pushing it but well safe for conditions.
Out of no where, V1 and Blinders go off. I immediately pull hand brake (Not hard, but enough to slow car with no brake lights). Dip below 80mph.. Turn blinder off..
Still no sign of cop.
Hit again with Laser, V1 blares with laser warning, Blinders are now off. Speed around 75mph.
Still no sign of cop.
I finally see in the distance a trooper on top of a turn-around bridge, standing out of his car, pointing laser gun at me.
I pass under him and the bridge doing about 70mph... while I pass, I noticed him playing with the gun as if it was broken. Priceless.

Lol I would have loved to see his expression
Speaking of Blinders, will you be around sometime around xmas? I need to install my Blinder and I was hoping that I could take a look at you did yours so I could get an idea.
Also, I picked up Alex Roy's book over the weekend and saw your name in the acknowledgements; congrats!

Ok let me know when you're around
I'll be back in town the 21. And I definately will. I have a few other books to read for class and its a struggle not to read Alex Roy's book. It seems like one that I could just sit down and read all the way through
