    Default Laser Encounter Today, Did I get Reflection?

    My laser went off today heading south on 35w in Minnesota around the 494 area, the LEO was sitting off to the right with laser out the window.

    My laser went off , then again, then again, the 3rd time is when I got a visual. The cars ahead were not too far, relatively close. Do you guys think I picked up some reflection.

    I was not speeding, but It makes me think I got alerted from my rabbit with laser , that bad A$$!

    It's very possible you picked up scatter, given the amount of traffic in front of you that was getting shot. The V1 is incredibly sensitive to laser.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    Quite possible, I rarely don't get scatter if I am beside someone. What bothers me is the detector goes off 2 or 3 times and I am wondering if I have been shot yet lol.

    Get a laser jammer, then you won't have to worry about when you get shot

    The V1's must have been the old ones before laser..

    Very likely your V1 detected laser scatter! It's awesome with laser detection.

    My v1 saved my ass once by detecting scatter from the cars ahead of me. I was driving 10 over with enough time to slow to 5 under!
