Nice...I'm going to miss your Cayenne.
If you ever need to get towed out of a ditch, give me a call - my new F250 has 800 ft/lbs of torque! (this pic is of the truck and surrounding trees from the Halloween storm; trees missed my 3 day old truck by inches).
And our dog looking very confused about global climate change

+1 for K40 used for years - expensive but great

Erik

Send a PM to Deputydog, he's the expert, and from what I understand, there is really only one that he recommends after extensive testing. Most of the ones personally tested by him, including K40 was completely useless

Erik

ill send him an email

thanks , but I found him. It is actually Deputy Dog 95.........

I was trying to send it to just Deputy Dog.......

But if you can put a good word in for me it wouldn't hurt.....

I have used a laser interceptor for several years with great success. YMMV but I have personally tested mine with a cop friend lasering me to verify that it actually does work.

I got a message from Erik this morning about the thread. I have a passion for "legally" interfering with speed enforcement devices despite my law enforcement background. I come at this with an interesting perspective having been on both sides of the speed guns. I'm a certified radar operator and have extensive experience conducting speed enforcement from back in my younger days.

While I certainly don't condone reckless driving on public roads, being pulled over for doing 8mph over the speed limit is just ridiculous. I've invested a lot of time exploring different options for avoiding police interactions when in my personal vehicles.

Let me first say that the V1 is hands down the best unit out there. Is is pretty? No, it's hideous. However, it works and works really well. I've ridden with people running the latest greatest escorts and the V1 still alerts earlier. The arrows are indispensable once you get accustomed to how they work. It would be nice if they could find a way for it not go berserk when in a shopping plaza, but I'll deal with it for now because of the piece of mind I get from using it.

With respect to laser jamming units, there are three different ways of doing it. You can stealth your car using various films or sprays. Generally worthless. A good laser operator will just rotate the beam around to find a weak spot on your car and lock it anyway if they want you bad enough.

The next step is to go with a laser diffuser such as escort , k40, or blinder. They use LED's. They work, sort of... The LED's are pulsed in such a fashion to confuse the laser gun. The problem with LED's is that they lack any serious intensity when compared to a laser diode.

Which brings me to the best and most expensive way of doing this. Going with a unit that actually uses laser diodes. The intensity is far stronger than a LED setup. So much so that there are warnings all over it to not engage the unit while looking at them Essentially what happens with the laser diode units is that it senses what type of gun is being shot at it, and then fires laser beams back at it causing the gun to jam. Sounds very star wars

There used to be a couple different European variants that offered real laser diodes. As far as I know, the only one that is still in business is Laser Interceptor. The other ones worked too, but are no longer available from what I can tell.

Is the LI with the V1 as pretty an install as the escort or the K40. No... However, do you want it stealth or do you want it to work? I see so many dealers hiding the laser heads etc... Basically completely ruining their efficacy.

Through all this I've come to personally know the owner of LI USA. His name is Cliff. Great guy and really stands behind his products. I've tested many different units against many different guns and hands down, the LI is the only one that works and works well. It very expensive compared to its competitors (LED), but in this instance you really get what you pay for. Mine have paid for themselves over and over again with saves. For a while I was driving 40k miles a year so naturally the odds were against me.

If anyone is interested, I can hook you up with Cliff and probably get you a small discount. Just send me a PM.

Here's a test I did a couple years back. It really shows just how well the LI works.

There are a number of speed trap locations on my way to work. It's pretty much the same place every time. It's almost comical when I go through. Lots of blank stares as they can't figure out why the gun isn't working

That's great that they paid for the ticket, but the whole point is to NOT get a ticket

Are they going to pay for the insurance increase too?

Thanks for the info. Andrew......

PM sent.....

Is this run documented? I thought Alex Roy claims the record at 32 hrs 7 min?
