Speed detection front on.?
December 21st, 2011 | by admin |I know it is possible to measure the speed of any vehicle coming towards a laser gun or speed camera but…. Last night while out for a drive with a friend I was away with the fairies and was doing 40-45 mph in a 30 the one thing to alert me to this was meeting a standard BMW 3-Series patrol car coming the other way round a blind bend. They stopped and where turning round to make a interception but I managed to hide down a side road until they pasted. Apart from their judgment that I was going to fast if they weren’t actively looking for speeders or weren’t anticipating me coming round the bend do they have any devices active in the car that would have caught my speed during the split second I past them?

Laser uses a pinpoint beam, so the officer must be stationary to ensure proper aiming. However, radar uses a very wide beam so it can be used when both the squad car and suspect care are moving.
Officers are also taught to visually estimate speed, so that is possible also.
