How to "cheat" radar on the roads and whether to do it?

In the web there are many sites that specialize in selling appliances for "deception radar." And, as practice shows, the majority of these gadgets, and if someone cheated, only the users themselves - to sense from them any. In this article we will discuss the various devices used by motorists for protection against radar and cameras.

We should start with those funds that are in fact completely useless.

Among the oldest methods of protection from radar - mounted under the windshield CD. Theoretically, it should reflect the radar beam and does not give him the opportunity to read the speed of the car. Means it is completely useless. The best reflectivity are car parts, the greater accuracy and greater distance radar fix its speed. It is also believed that the disc does not allow the camera to take a photo to reflect the flash. However, one of the most popular in Russia VIZIR radars (like sparks BINAR, Radis, golden eagle) and stationary models like Arena and ARROW models work without infrared flash.

Therefore CD-drives under the windshield - a tribute to tradition and decoration, nothing more.

Also, the network popular so-called "spray-fotoblokery" - after the number has been treated with such a spray, infrared flash should be reflected from it and not to take a photo. However, as we have said above, a significant part of modern radar traffic flash is not used. Therefore, all methods based on attempts to "light up" the frame to them inapplicable.

Continues the parade of useless means the so-called «SPY-protection", it is also a frame number. In the frame-mounted infrared LEDs, which theoretically should distort or illuminates the image at a distance of 60 meters. Price - 4000 rubles, quite expensive (especially for the disabled facilities). Power LEDs are not enough even for something to stop taking pictures at a distance of 5-10 meters. About a dozen meters, and say nothing.

And if at all there are ways to protect the room from the cameras? There are several ways. For example, a polarizing plate, which makes the number of indistinguishable when viewed at an angle. The price of such a film - from 3000 rubles. However, you can not install it discreetly. And if the traffic police notice such a device mounted on the car, he has every right to fine the driver (see. Article 12.2 of the Administrative Code).

Additional points of proscribed items - the so-called radar detectors and shifters. Devices capable of distorting the signal traffic radars in order to force them to give false testimony, do work, and sold in some internet shops. However, we advise you not to use these gadgets as their use may entail far more serious consequences than the penalty for excess (more about what may follow punishment see. here).

Radar detectors are also often mistakenly referred to as trap warning, no radiation is generated - they simply warn the driver of approaching a speed camera or a camera, allowing to slow down well in advance. There are many popular brands, among them - Whistler, Beltronics, Cobra and Escort. The main drawback - high price: cheaper to buy a quality device 8-10 thousand problematic.

Radar detection can also act as one of the functions of car DVR. Such models in the Russian market a few registrars, in large networks, electronics selling the most common model Highscreen Black Box Radar-HD. Is this recorder-processor cheap - 9000 rubles. However, if you buy a separate HD-recorder with integrated GPS-receiver and separately - a radar detector, you will, most likely, even more expensive.

Highscreen Black Box Radar-HD captures the work of stationary and mobile police post, its main advantage lies in adaptation to all the radars used in Russia. Operating range: X-range of 10.525 GHz ± 25 MHz, K-band 24.150 GHz ± 100 MHz (90% radars used STSI operate in this range), Ku-band 13.450 GHz ± 100 MHz, Ka-narrow range 33,890 ~ ​​34.11 GHz, Ka-low range 34,190 ~ 34,410 GHz, Ka-wide range 34.700 GHz ± 1300 MHz
Integrated GPS-receiver allows the recorder to mark the vehicle position, speed and in case of exceeding an audible signal to warn the driver.

What is the most effective method? The answer is simple: do not break traffic rules. In the end, they came up with to save our own safety on the road.
