Standing water on the road would reflect these systems further towards your car I have no doubt. Mine has never gone off that many times though, maybe 3-4 times in one drive was the max. Something else may be going on with yours.
Yeah, I hate those things. But it's not any one particular car that I was next to. I just wish I could turn the laser off the same way I can run with X band off.

I try to kill the jammer in 3 seconds or less. I have used most of the LIDAR guns out there and it's not that uncommon to have some cars take a few seconds for a reading. 10 seconds never happens unless the car is running countermeasures.

It's best to draw no extra attention.

Stealth is your friend.
I don't even run with the jammers on because of the potential time it takes to turn it off. There's no "on/off" switch. You gotta go into the settings and push a bunch of buttons. I just have them set to passive detection.

It's all totally legal to have and use here.
Must be nice up there north of the border...
