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 police measure the time it takes
your vehicle to travel a known distance.
Radar Detector Detectors: VG-2, Spectre
The Interceptor VG-2 or simply VG-2, is one type of microwave
receiver used by Police to detect signals radiated by the local
oscillator of a radar detector. Because its purpose is to identify
persons driving with radar detectors, these devices are known
as a "radar detector detector" (RDD). An RDD is the primary
tool used by the police to identify radar detector equipped
vehicles. If caught in a state or country where detectors are
illegal, drivers risk losing their radar detector and receiving
a fine. In addition, instant-on radar is almost always used in
combination with an RDD, leaving unsuspecting motorists
vulnerable to receive two tickets; one potential for speeding,
and the other for possession of a detector.
