Title: Super 8 invisible to radar?
Post by: klaviator on April 15, 2011, 01:13:34 AM

I was out riding today and rode past one of those radar speed signs.  There was a car right behind me so I pulled a U turn and went past it when there was no traffic.  It didn't show any speed at all.  Maybe the super 8 has the newest stealth technology and we can all speed at will ;D

I wish! ;D  I have also found that those radar signs don't pick up my scoot very well.  The cops haven't seemed to have any trouble though! >:(  Just got pulled last week for speeding! ::)

Small vehicles are tougher to pick up on radar - ESPECIALLY in any sort of traffic, the beam spreads significantly over any sort of difference.

Don't assume they used radar - The piggies will pace you from behind or catch you on VASCAR strips.  They also use laser - Unfortunately, headlight reflectors work magnificently for those.
