He makes a good point......

and ARGH @ morons sitting in the right hand lane going slower than the limit beside some other moron doing the same speed....

keep left UNLESS OVERTAKING. Not sort of overtaking, not being the wingman to the car infront, either overtake, slow down and duck in, or JUST DIE AND BURN!@$

Ok, ive done a 12 hour shift of non stop building today so im going to go and..... sleep....

night!

Talking from experience here..........

Radar detectors are absolutely useless against laser guns........believe me!

However they are quite effective against multinovas (providing you are only a little over the posted speed limit) and the mobile car mounted radars (as long as the kindly walloper leaves it switched on!!)

Sounds like you got the bad batch :lol:

The multinovas are easy to avoid as you say Redhawk but beware there is 2 different types the early and the later model which run a much lower strength and as such can sneak up on you at times. You might well of noticed sometimes you get a good 400 meters and other multinovas only give you 100meters (depending on radar detector)

The laser side of the radar detector only serves to notify you to PULL over and take the ticket as it’s all too late by then.

However a Beltronics 905 laser jammer coupled with the Bel 995 for example will jam the laser and return an error code and give you a few seconds to slowdown and then switch off the jammer or set it to say 4 sec.

This way they have little to no chance of nabbing you with the dreaded laser gun.

Remember though it might well be Illegal in your state or territory so be warned.

Some huge fines in some states and even jail…

There is also another "NEW" (Released Dec 2004) Radar out in Qld and WA called the “Decatur Genesis Select II” using Ka capability including the 35.1 GHz

This is the replacement for the older K band Mobile radars used in police cars.

They have some advantages for the police by way of distinguishing between two vehicles side by side over 1 km away and use Ka band making a large number of existing radar detectors obsolete.

Expect this unit to be turned on and left on a lot more than the older K band units so “if” your detector is good for 35.1GHz then your fine for now..

Cat & mouse all the time but its better than losing your licence… well in my opinion as I’m sure many will disagree, but when the speedo has a manufacturers spec of 10kmh tolerance and the police book you using a camera for doing 4kmh over how the hell is Joe average supposed to know if he is legal?

Stuff them I say its all fair game to me and I have both Radar and Laser Jammer

Oh and a licence

Yeah, manufactured by the same revolutionary bas*ard of a Brisbane based company that develops the radar detector detectors!

There was a case on one of the current affair type shows where a motorist (I think Victorian) was taking this argument to court – does anyone know how he faired?

At least us Queenslanders can be comfortable with the fact that you will not be booked within the 10% variance of the posted speed limit, and if you catch an officer on an off day and get fined within this tolerance and take it to court it will be thrown out.

Now I’m off to develop a radar detector detector detector!

The handheld laser guns - those LIDAR units that they use by standing on the roadside. Do they have camera's built in or do the Police have to pull you over on the spot if they ping you speeding by?

that's your chance to run them over!

I measure sh*t with lasers all day long, and its total horse crap that handheld laser is accurate, no way in hell. Distance isn't accurate unless you have a prism that can return you laser beam back at the EDM exactly parralell. And secondly, reflectorless EDM beams are wide messy high powered beams, and there accuracy is not repeatable, let alone without a prism.

Either way, I use 100watt hi-beams for one purpose, speeding in the dark and spotting shiny sh*t in the bushes. Works all the time.
