how can they help? they only work when there's actually one of the things being pointed at you car right? and it'll be too late then...

The cop who clocked me and gave me a ticket got me from between a 1/4 and 1/2 mile away. Those things are the devil. He was so far away that my better than 20/20 vision couldn't even tell that it was a police car.

But i took a corner too fast and almost spun out and flipped stuff. i zoned completely out and only focused on regaining control, when i regained control i realized i was headed straight for a pole so i had to swerve quickly and it was kind of scary.
edit: real loving scary*

every now and then on a hard left at good speed my open rear end will hook both tires and it spins me out in the middle of the road
p scary, uncontrollable on 90 degree turns

My dad has one in his car and it finds cops way before they find him. It detects stores and such as well. It will beep and flash a light indicating what it is detecting (store, cop, and some other things)

I guess I can kinda understand how that can happen with the radar stuff, maybe, but what about the lasers?
