Warning: Roadside Smog Check
Scoot called me, said they've got roadside smog check (the laser crap) set up on the on/offramps at 50/Howe.

Watch out for your cornhole, bud.

All this new fangled technology, and the state is still in a budget crisis. Incredible.

Basically, if you're running catless, clutch in and coast when you're getting close to Howe.

The lases is shot through the exhaust gas to a sensor on the far side of the road.
Too much crap in the exhaust gas causes the laser to "defract" and the sensor picks this up.

And then you're ****ed.

I'll light a couple boxes of cardboard on fire and drop them at Howe on my way home.

Could you just drive right next to a big truck and let it run interference for you?
Is it on the offramp or on the freeway?

That sucks.


Edit: Offramp.. I see. Crappy.

I figure it's like camera radar, so it'll take a pic of your license plate and shoot a ticket your way via the mail. Time for a license plate cover

Problem is, that's illegal too, like no front plate. Another excuse to get pulled over.
