[QUOTE="RonBB, post: 33979, member: 17"] Must respectfully disagree to some extent. It depends primarily on the situation at hand. Imagine two lanes east bound in big city rush hour traffic with an entrance ramp from the right. Traffic running 10-20 mph over posted limit & excursions above & below to help traffic merge. Laser speed trap 1/2-3/4 miles ahead with laser being aimed at the oncoming stream of nearest cars aternately in both lanes. My radar/laser detector (Escort 8500), many autos back (perhaps 1/4-1/2 mile) in the line of cars will generally trigger the alarm as the angle from the laser is not much different and at that distance there is sufficient laser beam spread as well as reflections off of other vechicles, etc. True, not as reliable as detecting a radar signal but still useful enough on occasion to be have paid for itself in saved ticket/added insurance costs on laser alone. The usefulness/dependability is dependant on the situation. [/QUOTE]
