Rocky Mountain Radar introduces a device designed to make your car electronically unreadable—if you get a ticket while using the product, the manufacturer will pay your fine!*

After receiving my first & only speeding ticket for $295.00 for going 82 in a 65. I believe this is worth it, and like I said. I have only got pulled over once in my life for speeding, and got a $295.00 ticket for it, which I am fighting.

*Ticket rebate program. If you do get a speeding ticket within the first year while using your Phazer, they will pay your fine! While the Phazer is designed to help you avoid speed traps, it is not intended to condone excessive speeding. *For that reason, the manufacturer will only pay tickets where the speed limit was not exceeded by more than 30%, or 15 miles per hour, whichever is less.

I was in fact 2 miles over thier limit, but still. It is supposed to be unreadable by laser/radar.

I know I could use one of these.I seem to have bad luck behind the wheel when it comes to speed traps.I know that these are illegal in a few states,Illinoise being one of them.Having had about $500 worth of fines for traffic tickets since I've had my license,this would probably pay itself off in a year or two.

Or you could make yourself a new car frame shaped like an F-117 ! ;)

Cool device though!

This seems like a good idea but I'm skeptical. Is there really any way to hide and what about when the cops are shooting instant on? Why not buy a good radar detector, which is legal in all states except Virginia and Maryland?

I have a Valentine One and it detects laser from up to 2 miles away. Believe me, my husband is the worst when it comes to speeding and this has saved his butt more times than I can count.

I'd be more cost effective (and a good deal safer) to get a device that beeped at you rudely to keep you under the speed limit. I don't have that much sympathy for anyone going 82 in a 65 zone. :)

Look, perhaps the jamming it uses doesn't work outside of a certain speed-envelope, ever think of that? (It's possible, but not necessarily likely)

A radar DETECTOR would be a better (and safer) use of your money. I don't want to be driving anywhere near someone who thinks that because they can't be caught that speeding is okay.

Terr,

On my defense. I had an 18-wheeler on my tail, and a car racing me on my right hand side (I wasn't racing), but he was staying on my side so I couldn't get in that lane. I speed up just to get out of the way of the trucker, and a police car pulled out a mile and a half up the street. As much as I couldn't say anything to defend myself, I am still fightint the ticket. Other than that. I have never been pulled over in my life, nor have I ever received a speeding ticket. let alone even a parking ticket. So, I thought this would be a nifty piece for someone who does border line the "allowed 5 MPH" margin. Like they said, they will not pay a ticket for someone driving 90 in a 65, but what about 72 in a 65?

I'd have to agree with Terr. Because, as much as you might want to stay "invisible" on the road, it might not be the safest thing to do for yourself as well as others. Also, the cost of the detector would be cheaper and, IMO, more helpful. It will warn you when you are going to fast which can help you, as well as others on the road. Like terr said, you don't want others (or yourself for that matter) going like 85 on a 65 MPH zone. If your warned, you'll slow down, which would be a safe way to do it. That's JMO.. -- Jason Copeland

I think a device that "makes you invisible to radar" would only lead to you going faster... Since you can't be hit by radar then what is to stop the person using teh device from just jetting down the highway? having seen up close and personal over 15 years as a paramedic what exsesive speed can do I agree with JC and Terr a device that squeals at you for going to fast would be better... Even better would be a govener that limited top speed to around 80-85 MPH If you have to go faster then that then you should have left earlier to get where you were gong... Just my $.02 worth...:D

Not unless they are using Ka band radar, otherwise known "instant on". Same for if you get hit with laser, no warning, laser has little if any "spread" meaning they can single out your car from greater distances than radar. My detector has alerted me to speed traps 2 miles in advance, and in FL there are no hills so the range is usually better than elsewhere. I dont condone speeding dangerously, but we all know we've been on the road in BFE with a 45 MPH limit, when clearly it should be 65. I am very skeptical as to the effectiveness of this "jammer". The only way I'd see a way to jam the radar would be to generate a constant stream of radar on all bands K, X, Ka at the exact same frequency that the gun is operating at. I highly doubt it does that, but I could always be wrong.

Yea, there was another thing like this but I forget what it was called. I knew someone who had one and he had no complaints. Its cool though, im not sure if this one is the same but the one he had made it so if he was radard it would flash all these crazy numbers on the cops radar ( like 500 mph them 30mph and some others ) so the cop would never know how fast you are going.

I defenatly could have used this in the past. I had a really bad weekend once going to see my girlfriend at school. I got a 99 in a 65 on the way there and a 88 in a 65 on the way back. I never showed up to court though so a year later I got a notice that I had to pay a $500 fine for the 99 and a $300 fine for the 88 . I also lost my licence for a month.

Then to top it of a few months later (after the incedent , not when I actually paid my fine) I got another one on Christmas Eve ( can you believe that) 40 in a 30. This one was in town so I actually went to court and the DA took me in the back to cut a deal down to a parking ticket and he asked if I had any other speeding tickets. Of course I lied and said no so I could get the deal, got a $75 dollar fine and was supposed to apear back to court after I completed school. This time I decided not to go, Then a year later ( around the time the other ones cought up with me ) I got a letter from them, so I paid my fine and lost my licence for about a month again.

Moral of the story: Go to court and pay your fines. They make it so it seems like you sliped threw the cracks and they forgot about it but when you owe them $$ they never forget. They only forget when they owe you $$.

Oh yea, they never found out about my other tickets so I got away with it.


---Edit---

Oh and I dont know how it is in your state but in NY you have the right to see the certificate of calibration on the radar gun. They love it when you ask them for it :) . If your lucky if it hasent been calabarised in a while you get off.

And why exactly was it necessary for you to speed up to avoid the trucker? Sure he looks imposing behind you, but just backing off the accelerator slowly isn't anything he can't handle. Let the testosterone poisoning victim get ahead of you before moving over to the right lane. I have no idea why you thought speeding was the best solution. (Also, had you been paying attention, you would have realised this was going to happen, and changed speed/lanes accordingly)

If you really want to have your car invisible to radar, just stick it in some bushes and don't drive it.

I always been curious about the fact that the maximum speed limit in all roads at last in europe is 120Km/H but they keep doing cars that can easly speed up to 2**Km/h+, isn't this curious?

I know that this isn't directly related with the original purpose of this thread but...

In a prior life there was a defense attorney who was very expensive and very successful. He would act like a viper in court, and if he beat you (seldom) he'd meet for coffee afterward and tell you how he did it, and pay for the coffee. If you beat him (most times) he'd meet for coffee afterward and bitch at you for being a smartarse or something, and you'd pay for the coffee. Either way, it was coffee and a training session afterward. One day he found me running radar on a quiet highway, came screetching up all excited and said he had this amazing device that he could put on his dash, dial in whatever speed he wanted me to believe he was going, and my radar would read out his choice. I sez; "OK, Bob, get on up there and dial in 55 (the limit on that road) and come in at 65, no faster, so i don't have to pinch you." He heads out about two miles, turns around, sets his little magic box for 55, and comes in at 68. I'm talking to him all the time over the CB, telling him what his speed is, and it doesn't drop off until he is so close that the increasing angle between us drops his speed indicated to zero as he passes. But at no time did his device fool the radar. He came back all p1$$3d off, asked me why it wouldn't work. I told him it was a matter of energy; his black box could not transmit sufficient energy to offset the energy developed by speedxmass of his car. He gave me the device so we could play with it. A week before, he had given me a "fuzzbuster" that didn't work any better than the black box.
Observe the speed limit, AO'ers, it's there for your personal safety. If you're doing 80, and the car coming at you is doing 80, that's a closing speed of 160mph... or about 240fps. If that dude makes a mistake when he's 480ft from you, you got less than one second to get clear off the road before he hits you headon. Get the picture..............??????? :D

This isn't accurate. On the Autobahn in Germany, there is no speed limit for some lanes. You can go as fast as your car (and you nerves) can handle. I know this because I have a German friend who was doing 150 along the Autobahn for his driving test. He passed. :)

Yes, Its true. I live in The Netherlands and I also got lots of friends that just went to germany to test the speed limit of their cars.

Lol, i know that there are some segments of road in germany that doesn't have speed limit, but it seems to me that this isn't a strong reason to build fast cars, is it?

Some states are trying to ban radar detectors and I was curious as to how they can ban something detecting waves. Is there a way to send a counter wave at the radar to diffuse the signal? That would be better than a detector.

Here's the funny thing about radar techniques... the SIZE of the target doesn't matter as much as the SHAPE of the target. That's why you have things like the FY-117 which are so stealthy. The optimal shape for a stealthy object is a tetrahedron, because it is a 3D shape that is most likely NOT to have a surface perpendicular to a radar source/reciever.

Hence, 'stealthing' your car isn't really possible. Jamming the signal by transmitting bogus return waves is another matter. As for laser prevention... I'm not sure. Theoretically speaking, the laser should be able to take a reading long before any circuitry on the car would even be able to recognize that it's being 'shot' at. Come to think of it, same think for a radar pulse, if you just used one quick pulse without warning...

Unless they're jamming all the time, in which case I wonder about FCC regulations... *muse* *muse*...

I think that if you painted it with a radar absorbing paint, then it might help, but good luck at trying to get the stuff :) Just don't speed. You usually don't get there any faster anyways...LOL

I was waiting for someone to bring up the topic of privacy. Would it be sane to say that someone would not want to be able to be tracked by radar or laser, because it is no ones business at what speed they are traveling? (And I'm not saying erradic drivers, I'm saying the person going 62, in a 65) but just doesn't feel the need to be monitored. You have everyone else fighting over face recognition in the airports, or carnivore on mail servers. Maybe someone just wants a radar / laser jammer, so they are not tracked during thier every day drives.

Well, I DO want monitoring if it'll keep unbalanced or hormonally-stocked people from going at any damn speed they want on dangerous terrain. It retains anonymity unless you break the law. (Barring those speed-pass things they're working on, which a nice good lead box would fix for when you don't want to use em.)

Well, it is your business if they blow you off the road. Should that mean it is none of my business if you happen to be drinking an alcoholic beverage that might impair you? I understand you tracking point though. With the Amber alert system, it is wonderful that it will help missing children, but the potential for abuse is quite high. With the Elizabeth Smart case, the man they chased was a "potential" suspect. Not even a suspect and a couple miles from my house they put up road blocks to catch him. The man's reputation was smeared. What is keeping the govt. from framing someone and saying they are a kidnapper when they are not? Big Brother is here and it is only going to get worse.
