Worst Case Scenario Radar Detector Test

The "Guys of Lidar" first "worst case" testing scenario was placing a car in a wash that had approximately a twenty foot dip in the roadway, from the approach, which also curved to the west.

Each of the police radar guns were mounted a dash mounted platform, maintaining the same position for each gun tested. In several of the tests, the police radar gun was off axis from the center of the approaching roadway, where the first visual contact could be made (red arrow) with the approaching car, to obtain a visual tracking history in a "real police encounter".

Several of the "same make and model" radar detectors were used in this exersise, to account for any deviance.

Each radar detector had three passes at each gun and the following is an average of these three passes.

The Escort SR7 is a remote mounted radar detector and in a normal manufacture recommended installation, the radar antenna would had been mounted behind the grill of car and therefore lower to the ground. However, in this test the SR7 antenna was also windshield mounted.
