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?
3.813
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.Quote:

Careful as you cannot see the road. :eek:
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.
just noticed my garmin 765 setting off a 1bar x-band alert on my v1
moved my 765 and got it to stop, was weird :P
One day I was driving through McDonalds drive thru and I got probably around 6 or 7 false laser alerts. don't know what the deal was
Where there any neon signs in or around the drive thru?Quote:

This McDonalds has 2 drive thru lanes, and apparently there is some sort of device that takes a picture of your vehicle somehow when you are ordering, and then when you pull up it does it again and matches you up with your order so that they know how much to charge you and which order was yours so that way 2 people can order at once. I don't know what it is that is used to recognize the vehicle but maybe had something to do with it?Quote:

It might have been at sunset. I'm doing the same route today at around the same time. I'll see if it happens again.
When I had my V1, I got laser falses ALL THE TIME.
I have GPS in my car, that might have been one factor. I got them behind Trailblazers brake lights, neon signs, the sunset, my wipers?? I don't even know.. but it was bad..
I also got a laser false from some guy in blue/red flashing lights behind me.. 8-)

No. That is strange. I rarely get a laser false.Quote:
