    So it is 5AM and the road crew is repaving the main North-South limited road. "Speeding Fines Double" and 40 mph posted.

    So I set the cruise control and ten seconds later some jerk is less than 10 yard behind, tailgating. I shift my head a smidge and his headlights are blocked by the bar. . . . I am happy and the cruise control untouched.

    Ah, yes. That bar has come in mighty handy on many an occasion when the ubiquitous SUVs with glaring headlights have been breathing down my neck as their sub-human drivers try to raise the speed limit by tailgating. A nice piece of equipment; just make sure the cretin behind you is not intending to ram you if you continue abiding by the posted speed limit.
