Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards for metric equivalents, a teaspoon is five millimeters and a tablespoon is 15 milliliters. U.S. teaspoons and tablespoons should not be confused with imperial teaspoons and tablespoons, which are measurements used in Britain and some former British countries.
A radar detector is an electronic device used by motorists to detect if their speed is being monitored by police or law enforcement using a radar gun. Most radar detectors are used so the driver can reduce the car's speed before being ticketed for speeding. Only doppler radar-based devices can be detected â other speed measuring devices including those using ANPR, piezo sensors, and VASCAR technology cannot be detected. LIDAR devices require a different type of sensor, although many modern detectors include LIDAR sensors.
The one exception to this rule is Virginia, where radar detectors are illegal under a state law passed in 2002. In neighboring Washington, D.C., radar detectors are also illegal, and have been since 1995. Also, a Minnesota state law forbids suspending anything from a vehicle's windshield, including radar detectors. Detectors mounted on the dashboard or used in other ways would not violate this law.
