    In one of the episode of the mythbusters, i remember jamie and adam doing all sorts of stuff like putting up reflective mirrors, painting the whole car black etc.... just to evade the speed gun but to no avail.

    Window tint may reduce the laser/radar signals before it reaches the detector (in the same way it reduces signal to e-tags/easy-trip).

    RADAR - metalized window film may reduce radar signals by reflection.
    LASER - window film may reduce the amount of laser light by reflecting or absorbing it.

    Although my car is tinted, it does not use metalized tints nor do I have my front windshield tinted. This maximizes the potential reception from the front and I can still get radar signals from sides and rear (although I do not know the degree of signal reduction from my sides and rear).

    Kindly note that the MYTHBUSTERS episode was based on RADAR based speed traps. They did not cover LASER based systems.

    yung mga nasa Commonwealth and Macapagal, once they detect you overspeeding, they will pull you over ba agad?

    LINK: Valentine One radar and laser detectors

    $400

    Locally, I don't know if anyone is selling it here.

    The problem with V1, they haven't released any updated products for a couple of years as compared to other brands. So does it still compare well with the competition?

    Sana yung mga motor na pa ekis-ekis ang takbo at sobrang tulin ay bantayan din nila di yung madalas di na pinapansin overspeeding ng mga motor.
