Wow learn something new every day...

I would've thought that light waves would've been more accurate than sound waves as there is less distortion (not to mention that light travels a whole lot faster). Hmm maybe not.

siksII you seem somewhat pleased that the highway officer pulled you over?~?~?

yes it may have read that way but trust me i am VERY ANNOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i guess i am trying to look at it in the best light possible to be less pissed off overall, as in i did not get defected and the cop was not a massive tool. but yes still very pissed off dont get me wrong!!! :(:teehee::O:(:D

now i feel bad for sounding positive about it, maybe i should edit my post make it sound more grim :O:(

FYI, Radio waves /= (do not equal) sound waves.

Radio waves are part of the EM spectrum, which includes Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Infra-Red, Radio, Light, Microwaves etc.

There's no "distortion" but there is a difference in the reflective, absorption, scattering and interference properties between Radio and Light (visible or otherwise) Radiation.

Also light speed is a constant (although this is in debate) - and thus all electromagnetic waves, whether they are light or radio or x-ray in nature (the names merely refer to the frequency of the EM wave) - all of them travel the same speed...

So today is your lucky day, you have in fact learnt two things. :sorcerer:

I'm not convinced its a cop either.

Security guards always tell people to move on, and they often have different radios and such. Not uncommon to see them in their own cars either.

Only strange thing is that he had a siren. But its no real trouble to get that.

came across a XR8 middle eastern operations unit undercover vehicle... they were bothering these Greek boys who were standing next to their GTs and susing them out accusing them they were middle eastern.
