How can I avoid getting a speeding ticket with radar?

[brewnog]

Yeah, every time someone pulls out in front of me I hit my brakes and lose control. I don't know what kind of cars you drive but the one I have doesn't "lose control" when I apply the brakes. Even at 85 when someone going 55 pulls out in front of me.

You're utterly ignorant of the fact that the faster you're going, the less room you have for error. The best driver in the world wouldn't be able to avoid a collision if someone doing 40 pulled out directly in front of you doing 90. You're an idiot, I hope you crash into a tree.

I think the word we are looking for is obstinance

Gee thanks.


I am sorry I ever started this thread.


Only law abiding physics questions for me now.

Everyone have a great New Year...don't worry, I won't be on the road!

i always love it when someone wants to pass me going 20mph faster, but then we each come to a stoplight. essentially, all you do is wear on your car faster and burn your gas less efficiently.

but it is more fun...

ok, now i have something to say on a more serious note.

Even IF you had a coating that deflected radar from ur plate...wouldn't you have to outrun the cops in order to get away with it? I don't know where u live, it may be different, but I live in Ottawa, Canada, and here when u speed by a cop they just put their sirens on, drop their donuts, and drive after you until you pull over. Then they walk up to ur car, and read the your liscence plate...with their eyes. So a anti-radar coating on ur liscence plate wouldn't help much. Unless you put it all over your car so that the radar gun couldn't figure out how fast your going.

So, my suggestion is get your own radar so that you can see where speed traps are before you get to them

or...if u have a ferrari or equivalent THEN you can probably outrun the cops...but I wouldnt' suggest it.

I think that the leiense plate coating is for photo-radar, not ordanary police doing radr at the side of the road. Photoradar takes pictures of the liesence plates of the cars that are speeding.

Yep, the number plate cover things are only good for roadside speed cameras. You'll still get clocked (there's plenty on the back/front of your car for the radar to bounce off), but when they come to sending you a ticket they won't be able to read the number plate on the photo.
