I recall reading a 'road warrior' article in Road and Track many years ago
that said if you can slow down by X ft per second (the exact number escapes
me) that even an instant on radar cannot get a reading.  I proved it once in
a mini van, cruising with radar detector at @ 25mph over he xpressway limit
when I crested a hill and my radar detector lit up like a Xmas tree.  I
*immediately* applied maximum braking and lo and behold the officer behind
the radar unit didn't even give me a glance.  Course I had to peel my wife
off of the dashboard, but I didn't get a ticket!  Don't know if it applies
to laser as they didn't have them then.
