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.......

Thanks to our brother on the thin blue line for adding his perspective.

I have a Escort Solo 2 in my Mustang. I do drive responsibly, sometimes I do get a little leadfooted in the car, but the main reason I have it is a couple of the small towns I drive through use radar not for traffic safety but for "revenue enhancement".
