A laser doesnt emit a damn thing untill the cop has your car lined up and pulls the trigger, by that time your fucked This made me lol. I agree with Cossey and you though. You still have to be smart on the road and use your own judgment. I dunno about you guys, but even though I look like I’m completely relaxed behind the wheel and just chillin, I am CONSTANTLY scanning my surroundings (not just in front of me but to the sides and rear) of what’s going around me, what’s parked around me, who’s where, etc. My eyes are NEVER locked in one spot for more than 5 seconds. I contribute that to having taken many defensive driving classes when I was younger (like 17). I had to take 2 due to court order (part of my plea agreement when I ran from the popo), took 1 on my own, and then took another one last summer to get rid of 2 points. You learn how to drive better and use your head. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-radar-detector/245540)._
