Yeah, not surprised. That's something they don't mention in the ads

.. 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.

The jammers use tiny, high-intensity LEDs to keep the laser from "bouncing back cleanly". There are usually two sets of LEDs which supposedly provide a lot of coverage. The jamming happens automatically/electronically (so the jamming happens independent of driver reaction) while an detector/alert sounds (so the driver *can* react, getting the speed down before another reading is taken, on a different part of the car). Sounds mighty iffy to me...

Now if people would just put as much effort (and money) into improving their reaction times (and other driving skills) as they do into beating speeding tickets we'd all be a lot safer on the road
