A local area I drive through uses K and laser only, K because people ignore it and laser because they can instantly pick you up.

This is why it pays not to be first in the line or last.



Same here. You also don't want to out in front by yourself with regular radar, "if" the officer is doing the "trigger" thing. No one in front to cause your detector to go off, you round the curve and boom, triggered and done.
