Cosine Effect, Math Wiazrds - (Speeding Ticket)

    Well I was just reading some very interesting info on
http://www.copradar.com/preview/chapt4/ch4d1.html .  Now imagine the
position I am in as opposed to the radar source; I am on the downslope of a
hill in a sharp right hand corner.  The radar is also coming down a hill
turning to the right as well.  As he zaps me the angle changes radically as
we both are descending and turning eventually meeting each other head on, in
an S corner basically.  Can someone explain the real workings going on here?
I have a feeling that I was caught in the worst possible road type for
having radar overestimate speed.  Ah glorious math, or not?

Thanks!
