SLD920X radar detector/jammer - does it actually work??

[Brimstone]

Incorrect , they are not required on the front of motorcycles or
motorscooters

Yes, bravo well done for stating the one exception to the rule. Made your
day has it, feel that you've added something useful and worthwhile to the
fount of human knowledge tosser?

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

Yes, the commonly used laser speed detection devices (SDD's) send out
30-40 pulses over about a third of a second. They use least-squares on
the time of flight to calculate the speed of the vehicle. The jammer
would be active after the first few pulses are detected and produces
signals which frustrate the detector portion of the SDD.

Interesting , thanks.

Ooh, touchy.

Nope, just putting a brat in it's place.How do I know the PP is a brat? If
s/he was a mature pedant we'd have got chapter and verse on the history and
the why and wherefores of registration plates.

Actually there are several exceptions to the rule , if you had bothered to
look instead of sprouting crap

Perhaps if I'd said "cars and lorries" instead would that have satisfied
you? Since the motoring NG this is posted in is primarily about car driving
my phrasing was in context. It#s tossers like you that make groups such as
this such bloody hard work. Now FOAD.

Actually you posted this in Alt. uk law and Uk legal which are primarly a
legal discussion group so my point was valid
if you cant understand that then you must be a bigger fuckwit then you first
appeared , and its tossas likeYOU that make groups such as this hard work
now **** off back to uk rec driving and next time ask mommy before you come
out to play with the big boys

Why are you getting so upset?

All he did was bring up a couple of instances which you hadn't
covered.

Besides, who knew you were posting from uk.rec.driving.? There are
currently four newsgroups to which this thread is being crossposted,
and even if we knew that it had originated in uk.rec.driving, there's
no hint that it's primarily about car driving (as would be obvious if
it came from uk.primarily.about.driving.cars) is there?

Your "point" was no more valid than any of the other crap you you've
spouted. You're just an analy retentive moron who is so inadequate that you
have to show off how much you think you know, i.e. **** all. Now crawl back
in your hole and fill it in behind you.

I'm not, but don't tell him that. ;-)

At the standard operating distance the laser beam will have diverged
quite substantially, to the point that it could be a metre wide.

The specs I've seen were 18 inches at 1000ft.Too wide,and you could be
measuring the car next to the desired one. After all,the laser spot is
invisible,and there's no method of verifying that the beam is actually
striking what you believe you're aiming it at.

The problem with detectors and jammers is that they need to be fitted
properly. I went with my boss to see somebody about fitting an Origin
B2. The installer's detector was fitted onto the rear view mirror and
was obscured by the tint. I questioned whether this was a good idea
and the reply was "well it works when I point a Nokia phone with IR
enabled at it". Good test method then! As the range increases the
quality of installation will have a critical effect on the detection
capability. A detector and jammer *should* be fitted around the number
plate area because this is the most vertical area of a car and hence
it recommended for targetting. Apparently the reflectiveness of the
plate only has a marginal effect.

The Lidatek laser jammer mounts above the license plate,and one can fit
additional jammers -if one can afford them.

So, what's so important about doing 100 MPH when 50 will get you there
in time for lunch anyway? Alive, without killing innocent bystanders?

If you want to jam something, jam those fuckheads who talk on the
telephone while they're supposed to be operating a ton of heavy
machinery.

Then they arrest you for not having, modifying, or altering your
license plate. Problem solved.

Except that, the way I understand it, there are states that don't
(yet) require a front license plate.

But why put so much effort into defeating a system that's only
intended to keep you from killing people?

If you're in _that_ much of a hurry to get where you're going, just
leave two minutes earlier. I read a write-up of a study once, or
maybe just heard it anecdotally, where they put two guys on the
road, and they told one guy, "Get there as fast as you can, and
screw the traffic laws!" and they told the other guy, "Get there
safe, and obey all of the traffic laws."

The fast guy, in about a 400 mile (600 km) trip, beat the law-abiding
guy by about two minutes. Less time than it takes to take a pee.

So, if you're in that much of a hurry, just piss in your car!

So, how do you stealth a car, required by law to have a reflective
numberplate on the front of it?

All states DON'T require a front plate... for example, Arizona.[/QUOTE]

So, obviously, if you are really impelled to flout the traffic safety
laws, you should move to Arizona! ;-P

(Personally, I don't have a problem with going 35 in a 35 zone and
so on. And hell, my car is only calibrated to about 85!)

Good Luck!

You sound like one of the nut-jobs that brought us 55-and-alive.

safe, and obey all of the traffic laws."

A couple of times a year I go out to visit my mother, which is a 1100mi
trip. 100MPH would add two days to time there or cut out two days in a
hotel in some dump along the way. In fact, 85MPH limits would likely
do it.

The fast guy, in about a 400 mile (600 km) trip, beat the law-abiding
guy by about two minutes. Less time than it takes to take a pee.

That is just so wrong. Plenty of factors would influence the difference
in arrival time, unless the 400 mile trip was made in heavy traffic,
then the faster guy would arrive a lot earlier than the slow guy more
so, if the rolling traffic jams that we call caravans and lorries were
taken out of the equation.

The fast guy was obviously not very good at going fast.
