RE: Laser jammer
Thank you!!!
I read this and was going to respond but had to actually get some work done here.
Laser jammers DO work, and my laser/radar detector works well too. But, there is no "early" warning with the laser signal, so when your laser detector goes off, you're busted! A laser signal is only about 18" wide at 500 feet, so it is nearly impossible to get the "bounce" effect that gives early warning like radar. For reference, I think that the radar shoots out a 250+ degree angle, for up to 10 miles, depending on conditions. That's a BIG difference and something you should fully grasp before purchasing a radar detector or laser jammer.
Also, Amen on the California driving styles and conditions. Evidently it's not something fully grasp by our English brethren. LOL
Cheers!

Honestly I'm going to set the cruise around 85-90 if I'm on a road trip. And yes I'll pay the extra $40 in gas wasted to be home 2-3 hours sooner.

RE: Laser jammer
I'll concur on the California driving conditions. Anyone that dares to go 65mph in the left lane is going to cause an accident due to the mass amount of vehicles that will pass it.
With that said, I was under the impression that laser jammers were illegal in this state.
I have the V1 detector and it's saved me quite often when I've had radar aimed in my direction, but the few times I've hit laser I've always been lucky to be going a decent speed not to get pulled over.

RE: Laser jammer
You are correct about the jammers being illegal in California. Oddly enough, Al & Ed's Autosound still has them in stock and ready to install??? I'm heading to Texas next summer and they aren't illegal there, so I'm going to outfit my girl then.
Cheers!
