No need to have all the sites operating, just need people not to know which ones they are. You could just take the risk and speed past one.....feeling lucky today?

Unfortuately no. People have tried in the past, and may have even succeeded, I have not heard though.

Have you considered using a cell phone and some tracking software. Theres lots of options, and I bet you carry a phone with you anyway. Only issue I know of is the battery life with GPS on is low due ...
