Police radar while exiting a curve Is it possible that a police radar you while driving at opposing lane the moment you exit a curve? I know that may sound confusing. What happened was that I was biking with a friend exiting a parking lot of the cypress bowl run. We were exiting a curve at the same time as the cop entering the curve. He did a u-turn behind us and turned on his siren. He pulled us over and claim that he radared us riding at 110km/h. Is this possible? |
You should have bought a V1 for your bike |
Sure it is possible. I don't see why you couldn't be tagged but was it a radar or a laser? They are pretty different devices. But most importantly, were you speeding at that speed? |
i dunno what he used. I dun think i can exit that corner at that speed though. My question is can the device be accurate since he is probably also driving at abt 60km/h on opposite lane? |

Radar beam is cone shaped and will get target readings on a corner from an oncoming vehicle. The cosine effect will give you a lower recorded speed by a few kmh at extreme angles. Laser only works from a stationary position. It shoots in a straight line and can get readings at an angle. You do not have to be directly in front of the target to get a reading. |
Ah, but you can "bounce" radar around a corner by reflecting the beam off of a concrete barrier. I used to play with that sitting on the side of the road using radar in stationary mode. |
Kinda like a mirror bounce eh? |

...and if the target is approaching the Radar from the front, or rear...or if the target is pulling away in either front or rear. Just select appropriate settings on the unit. |
It works fine in that configuration and if aything would be displaying a speed less than what you were travelling at.... Radar covers a very large area very quickly so would not have issues with a curve.... |
