    Default How do you "rapidly" slow down?

    I was just thinking about this, maybe i havent read the forum enough but it seems like ive been reading it for days.

    Anyway, when you get "tagged" or aimed at, not sure how to say it in proper terms by laser and you are jamming how exactly do you go about slowing down quick? If you slam on the brakes wouldn't the Police officer get suspicious anyway that your car just took a huge nose dive?
    how do u do it

    Yes. So...? Everyone slams on their brakes when they see a cop, even if they aren't speeding. It's expected.

    Push the brake pedal as far as I can without locking up the tires or risking someone hitting me from behind.

    Brake light kill switch -> engage break -> kill LI at applicable speed -> joy to the world.

    Every step you add to the process increases your chances of FAIL exponentially. Just do it the same way you always do it when you see a cop, then kill the switch. No special steps necessary. Cops expect you to brake when you see them. And there is no law against using your brakes, so what's the big deal?

    I just lay off the gas apply some breaking and maybe down shift, that's the plus to having a good jammer you don't need to jamm on your breaks. But with closer laser encounters you may have no choice other than to jam on your breaks. There is now law against slowing down.

    True, was just wondering if any of you do anything special. Just learning the steps before I go on about buying & installing
