Laser Jammers

BLINDER AUSTALIA

Radar Detectors have had their day.It takes on a few milliseconds to obtain a speed reading with a laser gun. IF your radar/laser detector manages to sound a warning, its already too late. YOUR BUSTED.

The new generation of laser speed detection equipment is leaving radar based technology far behind. Laser is far more capable as a speed measurement tool than reflection prone radar equipment.

Laser detector jammers are emerging as the only tool capable of defeating laser guns and laser speed cameras such as the new Poliscan Speed Laser Speed Camera. The best on the market is the new BLINDER X-TREME 7 - series of multipurpose laser systems.

With BLINDER stealth technology you'll have time to slow down and avoid a speeding ticket without drawing attention to yourself.

The Editor of The Observer wrote (17th July 2005):

"Last week, the government announced a three-month moratorium on further speed cameras. This was partly in response to the work of engineer Paul Smith [Safe Speed's founder], who has spent 5,000 hours finding out why, though the number of cameras has risen exponentially, there has been no corresponding reduction in traffic fatalities. He concludes that, far from acting as a deterrent, speed cameras take responsibility for safe speed away from drivers, and their concentration from the road. Cameras are as likely to cause an accident as to prevent one." (link)
