Laser, well...I did decide to simply skip that laser-jammer system I posted the link to. It just seemed, I dunno..not for me. Interesting to hear that you don't consider the laser defeatible. I wonder if it *would* be a contest: you aim for the plate and get jammed/driver responds to detector; you re-aim for headlights/drive is now slowing; etc. 
What would/do you do if you get a signal that your laser is being jammed? |
Thanks for the welcome and yes on the LEO part. Obviously there is a distinct difference between speeding and irresponsible driving. That being said, speed is one of the top PCF (primary collision factors) in the majority of collisions. As far as laser being undefeatable, well anything can be defeated. I just like laser due to it being vehicle specific and I've never gotten a jam signal. But, if i did I would make the stop and take the appropriate enforcement action. I'm not qute sure how the jammers work and what their coverage area is but I would find it hard to beleive that someone could react fast enough to slow down enough. Perception and reaction time is basically 1.5 seconds and there is still the age old methond of plain visual estimation
Good topic for debate.....Again thanks and hope to gain some knowledge here on autopia.......
