    It's not about the distance you are engaged at. It's about the distance you are slowed down at. It takes you a very minimum of three seconds to slow down. At 60mph, you'll cover 264 feet in those three seconds. So yes, PT at anything under 300 feet is fail.

    Another laser encounter last night N.Y.S.P. Laser was undoubtedly the Lti Ultra Lyte. My car BMW E90 3 series veil on headlights 3 coats, heavy veil on all chrome including BMW hood badge, light hazed coating of veil over all frontal surfaces of bumper, including the leading edges of the hood and, a laser shield with one light coat of veil on the outward face. My current controlled tests with the Lti Ultra Lyte LRB were showing consistant punch throughs at in the 750ft range. Two days ago I was on my way home on a three lane parkway with sweeping turns and moderate elevation changes. I was tired but paying attention. In the left lane I had instinctivley let off the gas as I was approaching an overpass. Just beyond the overpass is a diminishing radius down hill right hand sweeping turn. Right under the overpass the V-1 alerts to laser. Approximately 900ft away was the cruiser parked perpendicular to the road next to an exit. My speed was 20 over the PSL. Heavy on the brakes, the laser alert was constant and continued to a range of about 200ft. from the source. I had managed to slow to the PSL rapidly, the precise range to the source, where this occured, I'm not sure. This is the second time I've been hit in the left lane within 1000 ft. and come away unscathed. I suspect being in the left lane helps a bit, being off axis more than say, the right lane. The numbers don't really add up though. I have to do more controlled tests within the punch through range to see if a reading is delayed or instantanious. Durring the last test of my set up, the laser operator did say he got an instant reading at about 300 ft. but, this was really due to traffic conditions blocking his shot till that range. Although "only" 20 over, I think the LEO would have pulled out after me had he gotten me at that speed. There was an extra enforment effort that night. There was another troop car running Ka constant on, with the rear antenna, on the same road, opposite direction about 1/2 mile ahead of the laser trap. This activity is unusual for this time of night. Normally you might see one enforcer but not two. The other trooper had someone pulled over. No, the V-1 did not pick up the trooper till he was at a range of about 1000 ft, within line of sight but, the transmission source was facing the other way.

    Itwasntme,

    I think your experience(s) effectively demonstrate the real-world differences between slow speed test course testing against lidar operators specifically skilled in defeating countermeasures versus the real-world where the results, I believe, tend to be much better for Veil.

    Nicely done.

    Red face Re: Real-World Veil Saves

    My story:

    I was going 80 km/hr in a 60 km/hr zone. Usually I use waze in my city and usually all speed controls are marked on the map (thanks to other users). This time I broke the Iphone stand that goes on the window so I was just driving with the Escort Redline and Laser Veil (Veiled the headlightes, chrome and licenseplate (applied directly on it) and nothing else, the car is a silver Chery Face GLX). Usually the cops are always in the same spot but this time I just forgoted. Ok so I was driving and my redline alerts me of a laser shot about 820 ft from the LEO, the cops here use the Traffipatrol XR. I had plenty of time to slow down. The alert continued for a long time and about 100 ft away the cop finally got my speed, he was targeting me the whole time. His face was amazing, he was smiling all confused at me. Just priceless.

    I recommend laser veil 100% anytime. It just paid for itself sooo many times...

    I can't wait for the next generation of this product. G6? hahahaha!.

    Awesome.

    Yes, we understand that passive absorbing Veil does work very well with even the most complex laser pulsing algorithms.

    Great story!

    Concerning Veil G6, we gotta get to G5 first (and we are working on it). (Grin)

    Happy Easter!
