Jammer test tomorrow :)

Out of interest: does anyone know whether other "spy / revenue etc" systems (like trafficmaster / specs / "safety van" equipment etc) are jammed by laser jammers?
Oddly enough the only equipment that can be jammed by a laser jammer, has to rely on a laser for speed detection. Anything that uses a camera such as ANPR, SPECS and Trafficmaster will be unaffected.
It appears so .... Avon and somerset dont like playing fair and enjoy hideing , looks like a jammer is next on the list then 
Well ive had the testing done 
Met up with the guy in Pangbourne and did a few runs.
He showed me all the features of the laser gun, I had a go on it as well (20/20 speedscope). It is terrifying how accurate and fast it is to get a reading, even from a bike! I managed to clock him quite some distance away with no jammers active.
Turns out my SLD920 is fine but the front jammer needed angling down a little as it was not 100% jamming at first.
Also saw the effect on the gun. Quite amusing. The poor little gun was trying its hardest to get a reading but couldnt quite do it
GET A JAMMER!!! Holding the gun freehand I could pick off a bike from a LONG way away. A car would be far easier.

Cost me £40 - best money I ever spent. Now I can concentrate on improving my riding and what I am doing rather than
s hiding in bushes with lasers!

However, your comment got me thinking: it wouldn't take a great leap of imagination to guess that it may be possible to use Trafficmaster as a speed detection (revenue) device on individual cars because, as I understand it, the system currently reads a numberplate (or part of it), then reads it again at the next Trafficmaster location and thus calculates the average speed of the vehicle.
P.S. - at least it looks like a laser jammer would mess up Talivan man.

£40? I guess that was a s/h bargain?
I'm guessing that it was £40 to test the fact that hsi laser jammer that was already fitted to the car was working properly?
