Heard this on NPR this morning. Maybe it's old news.

very interesting but my god what a load of BS. I can't tell you how many times I've been driving on I-95, I-75, or 64 and had some great distance between myself and the other cars, when you have some idiot come flying up and wedge them self in. what's the problem with this? it looks like you are the one tailgating.

any idea who's making this BS device?

The laser is made by Colorado-based Laser Technology Inc.

According to some on this forum it's been in the Ultralyte for a couple years now :?:

Also it seems to those who think that a LEO has to be outside his car to shoot laser or have the window down, apparently not with an LTI:

I'm sure people already know this but just thought I'd toss it out for those who didn't know they could :wink:

Sounds like rush hour over here... I just see this as another pain in my ass.
