Barry, this is what I was trying to say about mounting your radar a little lower. It was just a guess really, but thanks to Adam, there is proof now....

Also, no reason sticking foil or whatever under your hubcap is going to work. You have to understand how radar guns work but think of it as like a sharp focused stereo speaker that is bouncing noise (waves) off your car. How is foil going to foil it, lol.
