Question for the Escort rep

[stockey]

I have a Bel STI driver,i love the thing,but would it be possible for the new generations of Bel detectors to have more sensitive laser detection like the V1,i find sometimes i get it by lasers and the STI does not warn.

V1 falses laser way too much, it almost renders its laser detection useless. Best bet is ad ZR4's or another jammer to your set up.

Get Laser Jammers for that ...Rd are useless on laser I have hit cars with V1's and have had them not alert!!!

As mentioned, even if Bel comes out with very sensitive LIDAR detection, it's not like it matters much to solve the bigger issue of not getting caught by LIDAR. The LIDAR beam is very tight compared to radar. It might even be only a couple feet wide (and rectangular, if I remember my mem-tek classes correctly). As such, if an officer has lit up a car ahead of you, the chances are very low that even a fantastic LIDAR detector would tell you. The remote-remote chance is if:
* the car in front of you also happens to be right in line with the officer
* the officer aims off to the side a little
* you get a weak splash-reflection-thing going on

Almost always, the time that you'll get a real alert on your RD with the best possible scenario:
0.0 seconds - officer presses trigger on LIDAR gun
0.2 seconds - alert sounds on RD (if you have a very-very fast alert)
0.3 seconds - officer has your speed displayed on his LIDAR gun
1.2 seconds - your brain says "hey! I'm hearing a sound!"
1.9 seconds - (assuming your dad is Bruce Lee and you inherited his reflexes) your foot leaves the gas pedal and begins to make its way to the brake pedal
2.2 seconds - (assuming Ayrton Senna was your grandfather and you inherited his driving skills) your foot arrives at the brake pedal
2.7 seconds - (assuming you've got the brakes of a Nissan GTR) your car slows down

With most of us expect over 4 seconds, but it doesn't matter as the whole exercise is just academic. Only a LIDAR jammer has any hope of helping you with the big picture.

Not going to happen. Belscort errs on the side of less false alerts.

LOL!

Well yes...there's that.

What do you call shooting a car with a V1 without them getting a alert then?
