CAN SPEED TRAP SENSOR BE TRUSTED?

[POSTIA]

Hey guys, anyone is using speed trap sensor? i used to travel long distance at least twice a week, can't really enjoy driving when i had to 'drag' my car in 90kmph on such a wide n straight highway over nothing....i hate myself wen i had indirectly became 1 of d moron road hog....

i start to consider this illegal yet usefull device...however i always doubt on its accuracy n practicality....any real story abt the speed trap sensor, in terms of the functionality of the device, trouble wen encountered JPJ n traffic police, reciommendation of brand,etc.

thanks.

i am currently using the speed trap sensor i bought from japan.

got warning sound when pass thru some camera on LDP and so on.

im still testing.

Guys,

Be careful... although your speed trap detectors maybe good, our local buddies in blue also have hi tech detectors...that can detect you using a trap detector. Also the current ones they use are Laser guns...there is no way to detect a laser beam being shot at you!! (Pls correct me if i'm wrong here)

Sometimes they do bring out their old units during certain ops...these are the ones where they have a little road block to saman u *ahem ahem*...now ur regular detector should be able to pick these ones up which are the X,K and KA band speed detector guns. But dont forget...if they havent aimed it at any car ahead of u then u wont know until they aim at urs and by then its too late!!

Also take note of the new Waja patrol cars... you will notice they have a unique siren on top... the centre section of the siren/flashers is black...in that centre section sits a device that detects the speed of your car based on the speed that the patrol car is travelling...so watch ur speed when u see one of those!

Cheers to all.

Wah bro... thanks for the warning.. i alwiz thought that i can safetly overtake the Waja patrol car. Hmmm now i know that they have speed detector....

Yup, my dad was caught once using a speed trap detector by cops using some hi-tech devices to detect his speed trap detector even though my dad hid his detector.

As for laser speed traps used by the cops, it still can be detected by the speed trap detectors. You have to buy the proper kind. The speed trap guns that the cops used last time were radar based but they changed now to laser based. You can get those radar and laser speed detectors. But you have to remember that laser speed detectors are not really that useful, as laser works on a line of sight, so when ur laser detector detects the laser speed gun, it most probably would be too late, coz the cops are already then shooting the gun at you :lol:

How to over take them when they are also speeding like mad...
Saw 2 WAJAs when I was heading to Sunway from Puchong yesterday,
no siren was on, I was travelling at 80km/h and keeping to the speed limit and I see these two WAJA Petrol Cars flashing me, so I move one side, and I see that they were racing each other, chelok sini, chelok sana, and I don't think they were chasing anyone, cause no siren was on and can see the two fellows in both cars laughing away... tried to tail them after they over take me, but they were going bloody fast, even up the fly-over towards Sunway that is quite steep.

I used my sensor...
still kene saman balik raya...
ops sikap, now have 2 pay la...
haiyaaa...

cannot be trusted la if u ask me...

Ah yes is true, laser detectors only warn you once you've been hit, and by then is too late.
However don despair as those very nice Detector manufacturers now make laser jammers...very nice too

ok since u say they shoot laser at us...how can i make my license plate number not visible...so they cannot see my number plate???anyway...???please suggest...

 

[kennethfong]

there is a sort of spray, when sprayed will reflect the camera shot, seen it advertised in some taiwanese mags, but ur plate would still b seen by human eyes......

 

[exnitrexx]

i'm sure all the devise them use never been calibrate! so if u have gut to argue with them trylah!!

There is a way, and trust me...spraying stuff on ur plate does not work!
Now I havent done this yet and it will need some r&d so if anyone of you try it out do let me know the results...

Basically what you have to do is to get yourself some infra red leds, the ones tht are on any remote control.
You can get loads of them frm Jalan Pasar for dirt cheap....
When u press your tv/radio remote control you notice tht theres no light coming frm the led right?
Now try using ur digicam or any infrared camera and point the remote at it while pressing the buttons down...
Voila!...u see the led shining as bright as a star!

So all you have to do is get a few, maybe 5 to 10 of them, drill tiny holes strategically in your plate and fix them in.
Then you will need to make sure u get the correct voltage to them so some sort of power down transistors, etc...
also from jalan pasar....and a switch u can wire to near you dashboard to switch on and off.


Hook everything up and use ur digicam...infrared camera and have a look now....
there will be so much infra red light emitted from ur number plate tht there is no way to see the no plate. Of course to normal eyes u cant see any difference but when the coppers shoot their laser and point...their infrared camera will pick up all tht bright light on ur plate!

Heck the coppers would probably think you had a ghost on your plate!
So to whoever is rajin enuff to do this..pls let me know the results!

Cheers

a31gtst, u did b4?someDYI session for us lor

 

[s15]

wei....
shudn'y have show ur post man..
later they will invent something that can anti infra red :lol:

 

[reubenc]

led frm remote!very very good IDEA!
ithink it will work .
but since there might be cops in ZTH too....we btr keep these ideas a big secret
