how far away does the average radar detector sense the presence
of K band radar? Or Laser or whatever other new stuff that the
smokeys have. When this guy gets busy he is checking everyone.
He'll be standing there pointing that gun for a period of time. Only
need to know he is somewhere on SR200 ahead of me so I
won't step on it. If he's there I will stay in geezer mode the whole
7 miles to downtown...

Re: Just got my first ticket
well, here's the quick version...whether K band or any other, leaving out Laser...it takes the larger object out front, so if you are in front of a tractor trailer, I will get the T/T...most of us, while moving leave it off until we see the speeder, then, instant on, instant reading, thus thumb faster than foot...if stationary, same thing, leave it off until I see violator...now with that said, you might pick up my signal down the road to warn you, but I am busy w/ a speeder anyway...so it really didn't matter...laser, is dead on...tight signal able to shoot between vehicles so larger vehicle doesn't apply here...
