All of us have heard, seen, and some of us have even experienced, technology that police patrol use to determine a vehicle's speed. But have you ever thought about how does patrol effectively and accurately determine the speed of your car?
Yes, you're right, with the help of a radar gun. The basics of a radar gun technology are very simple: waves are transmitted from a police radar gun to the speeding object, and then are reflected back to a radar gun on a different frequency. There are also two types of speed gun detection: radar gun, the so called traffic radar gun, and laser gun technology. Laser guns are mostly used in the city, while radar gun is used vastly on the highways. The thing is that there is still a window for error opportunity. But in such cases inacuracy arises due to improper use.
So, if you're a civilian, and want to combat radar gun and laser gun detection, then you need to use a radar gun detector. And here the advice is: the higher end radar detector will give you a better range that will alert you about the patrol presence sooner.

So, be very careful and stay safe on the road!
