I have a detector that I use all the time. It's a cheaper one but it works pretty good.

I like my scanner better though. It picks up the regular channels plus it picks up the "mini-repeater" frequencies the patrols have in their cars so they can use their handheld radios. It's a BCT7 made by Uniden. It's saved my butt plenty of times. I love having a scanner in the car.

There is an article from Car and Driver from Jan. 91 or 92 (can't remember) that's called "Ten tips for fearless flying". It details how to make your way through traffic on the highway at a SLIGHTLY faster rate than what they are moving at. It's a really good article. You will learn alot of things about how to stay alert when you're driving.
