Yes, our citations also have that. And that's what deepens my suspicion that he was full of it. If he actually got me with radar, why not write it all out like the previous cop did, but then write "Warning Only" on it? Well, I guess he could've just been too lazy to do all the paperwork, so I can't take the absence of a written warning ticket as solid evidence that he didn't really capture my speed on radar. See, I just have no way of really knowing, and I want to know! lol. I want to know if the cops now have some new advanced radar system that enables them to capture another vehicle's speed even if it's behind them going the opposite direction!

Go to a payphone, call the police station, & ask, "Excuse me, can you run radar when your car is heading away from me?"

Do payphones still exist?

haha, sounds like u should do a stealth splinter cell mission down to HQ and investigate this new technology...

HAHA! Heres semtex:

i've had a cop follow me on the highway using a radar gun also.

guess it calculates the difference in speeds from him to me

You could always ask a dolphin if his sonar works backwards....

get one of these and hook up a camera to it

Well, the reason I'm thinking about it so much is that if they really do have some new system that can do this, it's a game changer. Generally speaking, if I see a cop coming from the opposite direction, I'll check my speed and slow down if needed. But once we pass each other, I no longer consider him a threat and relax again, speed up, etc. If they can now zap me from behind like that, using the instant-on technique no less, it changes the playing field somewhat.

i'll check, i work in area 51..opps...did i just say that

get a radar detector for your back window?

the V1 works 360 degrees

use a radar gun on them and pull them over

i guess i would just play it safe and wait til there is no line of sight and then speed up

My understanding is that a radar should be able to zero it self while moving which would allow the cop to pick up your speed if traveling in the same direction.

Now the same idea can be figured for two cars traveling in an opposite direction, even after they pass each other, once the beam returns it will use a doppler calculation to determine your speed. I mean, all radar is technically inaccurate since it is based on a beam traveling over a distance and returning and then calculating the variables. More variables the great the risk of inaccuracy.

Apply Radar absorbing material to your car! problem solved :tup:

Not enough, you would have to have material that can both absorb and reflect the signal, and by reflect I mean redirect the beam to a different direction.

ok who wants to make the Z do this

Audi R8 "Blackbird" Avoids Cops While Speeding | BallerRide.com

That things amazing! :tup::happydance:

You know, I actually applied to join the Gwinnett PD once. Didn't make it past the background check though. :rolleyes:

In retrospect, I'm kinda glad I didn't. I would have taken a pay cut of about %50 and my hobbies are just too expensive to survive that.

Yeah I don't know how they survive on the money they make. OTOH, Gwinnett is cheaper to live than North Fulton.

When am i gonna get off this damn distinguished road and get a spectacular aurora around me?

That actually makes sense, I think. Assuming the cop has a radar gun pointing backwards, if the radar unit self-zeroes, then when it measures the speed of a car going in the opposite direction, it'll just read in the negative, right? In other words, if it says -60mph, then that just tells the cop that I was doing 60mph. Now let's say he does this on a car that is behind him and going in the same direction. If the reading was -10mph, it would just mean that the car was going 10mph slower than him. If it read +10mph, it would mean it was going 10mph quicker. In both cases, he'd just add or subtract it from his own speed to ascertain the other car's speed.

^^ i'm sure i just said that

I need to find a cop and make nice and test some of these theories and situations. I know many places now have front and rear facing radar guns but I am not sure how they report and what is displayed to the cop.

I would hope they are getting a report of +10 from a car in front of them and just tacking on from their speed.

:ohsnap1:

I was neglecting you again, wasn't I nogood? :rofl2: Hey I tried Poutine for the first time ever last week. It was . . . interesting.

:woot: so, was it great, good, okay, bad, disgusting

All of the above. ;) Mind you, I don't know how authentic it was. I got it from a Harvey's inside the Calgary airport while I was waiting for my evac flight out of Canada.

Evac Flight?

lol. Sorry, a little private humor. Whenever I leave Canada I always feel this sense of urgency because stuff is so expensive there. Example. McChicken sandwich at McDonald's is 99 cents here. $4 in Canada. And the exchange rate is only like 1.16 ($1 USD = $1.16 CAD).

because we use real chicken meat here

Thats not as bad as Germany...

Happy Meal = 4 Euro... $7-8

And thats not even what I get, just giving you something basic...
Conversion rate 1.5:1

:bowrofl: Touche!

about the Harvey's Poutine


yeah, not authentic then. only restaurants here serve it right.


i went to one in Ontario and Manitoba, not the same at all.
i bet it was all soggy and nasty....lol....thats the opposite...lol


the fries are suppose to be extra crispy to handle the sauce well

Yep, the fries were soggy. It wasn't bad per se. I just kept thinking -- this stuff will give you a heart attack.

i have it twice a week and i'm still here

you're immune to it
