Default Laser in New York (2 tickets in 3 days.)

So I can not remember the last time I recived a speeding ticket... it has been years. That was true till this Sunday. On my way to WGI I got nabbed with laser - 79 in 55 (though it turned into 65 zone 1,000 feet further.) This happened in NYS on RT-17 in Elmira.

Then to my complete dibelief I got nabbed with laser again this morning on my way to work. Again, I was not paying that much attention and did not think I was speeding - 70 in 50 zone (West Side Highway). Damn!

So, IMHO everyone needs to get laser jammers in NYS, and watch out. I think that they just got some new laser guns, and are going crazy to put them to use...

Default VERY. go here: www.radartest.com. what's up with the group buy on the lidatek?

keep in mind the lidatek reviewed there is the old one. the new one is supposedly the bomb. ??

group buy that seems stagnant and goes until the 16th. i say stagnant because i haven't heard back.

I skimmed the article of testing 6 jammers. Most of them seemed ineffective. What one would you buy?

Default skim it again. most are rated at 100% on their criteria ???

i'm in on the lidatek group buy through that link that i editted into my previous post.

other forums and "real people" have rated the new lidatek very highly. the older model was reviewed on that page and got scored lower than the others. new one aparently is best of this generation.
