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!
