    Default random laser hits?

    So lately I've been getting random hits of laser where I know for sure there are no LEO's around. I normally never get laser hits along this route and it's even happened at times when there are no other cars around me (the whole tail light on GM SUV's thing).

    anyone else have this issue?

    The sun can sometimes cause false laser alerts. What radar detector do you own?

    I've never had my 3.812 false to the sun. It has falsed to the brake lights as you said. I've always wondered if bright lights from around the car or inside the cabin can occasionally trigger a false.

    I'll try to make a note of my surroundings better next time.

    Driving into direct sunlight add windshield washers to the situation, even my 1.7 will false to that one.

    Causes some kind of prism light effect.

    Careful as you cannot see the road.

    What are you driving? Some cars with built in GPS or Driver Information, or even stereo control screens will set off V1 laser.

    I think my automatic wipers did it once.
