Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 7m 20d Gender: Male Posted 27/04/14 04:14 AM Share Posted 27/04/14 04:14 AM I've been done at 800m before. Your scanner picks up the signal when it hits your car, so they have your speed by the time it take light to travel from your car back to his gun...not even enough time to blink Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/360/#findComment-1467807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in unfamiliar territory I often leave the GPS running even if I don't need it just for the audible speed alert. I tend to pay more attention to what the other maniacs on the road are doing rather than keeping a close eye on the changes to the posted speed limit every few hundred meters and my speedo. Has saved me beer tokens on quite a few occasions. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/360/#findComment-1467823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger works with spotlists and GPS to notify of red-light cameras, fixed camera and further safety warning including oversize vehicles etc so it's great with web downloads.Laser works in alerts as well as laser shield blocking the laser from 3 to 9 seconds Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/360/#findComment-1467826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 15y 11m 23d Posted 27/04/14 08:04 AM Share Posted 27/04/14 08:04 AM I guess I will continue to use the GPS to alert me to fixed mounted speed camera , and when I am over the road speed limit. I don't use any devise , GPS or otherwise in the sh**tter , as it takes forever to get a head of speed, and if I was ever distracted , I would be pinched for being just over ... It was really the bike and bat mobile that I was seeking assistance , as any lapse , and you have well and truly over and today with the way hoon law are going , it's costly and the penalty some what unfair and in most cases the penalty (in my opinion) does no way fit the crime .It's disappointing , I had thought for a moment , that a discovered a new product that made driving enjoyable , rather than rubber necking any bush, parallel parked car , and watching any crossover , in conjunction with markings on lane on the freeways for mounted cameras Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/360/#findComment-1467831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 7m 20d Gender: Male Posted 27/04/14 08:48 AM Share Posted 27/04/14 08:48 AM Your best bet to try and "dodge" the radar guns is to have a matt paint job, respray your number plate with a low sheen clear and cover all glass with an AR coating. Radars basically work on a 50w pulsed laser, so you have to try and stop that pulse getting back to the gun. Another way is to find something that emits a 905nm wavelength to effectively "jam" his radar by bombarding it with other signals...but then he's going to know somethings up'sourced from Wikipedia so don't yell at me' Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/360/#findComment-1467832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
