Laser Facts
It’s well documented that many radar guns cannot
reliably provide the speed of a targeted vehicle that
is traveling in a group of vehicles. In contrast, a laser
gun can target a specific vehicle out of a line of traffic
and determine its speed. The advantage of laser
over radar in terms of target identification is the result
of the laser gun’s narrow beam. A radar transmission
can cover more than a four-lane highway at a distance
of 1,000 feet, compared with a laser transmission
which covers about 3 feet at the same distance. For
best protection, keep these points in mind:
• Because you vehicle’s license plate or headlights
are the laser gun’s primary targets, mounting your
Whistler detector on the dashboard can improve
laser detection at short range.
• Do not follow closely behind any vehicle you cannot
see through. If you can’t see past a vehicle ahead
of you, chances are your detector won’t either.
• The receiving range of your laser detector will not
be the same as a radar detector. Laser guns are
most often used at short range.
Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all current laser
guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905 +/- 10mm.

Laser Tips
If you are the targeted vehicle, a laser gun can often
determine your speed within a few seconds after you
receive an alert. In this situation there is generally no
time to safely adjust your speed. However, if you are
traveling near or behind the targeted vehicle and
receive an alert, response time should be sufficient.
Any laser alert, regardless of duration, requires
immediate action!
Other Speed Detection Systems
Several techniques other than radar or laser are used
to measure vehicle speeds. When these methods
are being used, no detector can provide a warning.
These techniques include:
• Pacing - A patrol car drives behind you and matches
your driving speed.
• Vascar/Aircraft - The time it takes a vehicle to travel
a known distance is measured.
