Default For all you PA people or folks who have to deal with VASCAR, please read....

VASCAR is an interesting device and it works well. Its also V1, 8500 proof etc.

What you will find in this link in a quick summary, is that VASCAR can be faulted very easily when used in short measuring distances. If you ever get tagged with a VASCAR ticket and can't talk your way out of it like the lovely 85-4kq-girl did you still do have some hope. If the cop was measuring at a distance of 100 feet his margin of error for a 35mph zone is over 30mph!!!

This can also be handy guide when a local pig is looking to cash in on something he may not be even doing right....Then again if he tags you over a distance of mile (which rarely happens) your SOL.

Enjoy the reading!<ul><li><a href="http://travel.3dresearch.com/introduction.html">http://travel.3dresearch.com/introduction.html</a</li></ul>

Default In PA, nobody but the staties are allowed to use radar/laser.

All non-staties use VASCAR only, by law. Always be aware of those lines in PA...

Default Yep...I haven't decided whether it's good or bad that they can't use radar.

At least if they use radar, the V1 should get them.

And as far as I know, they still can't use laser...right?

And for sure they can't radar you while going in the opposite direction like they can in Ohio.
