When they hit the cars in front of you, any half decent radar detector can pick up the signal with enough time for you to correct your speed.
And for fooling laser, it can be done. A black Corvette and 4th gen T/A with no plate is almost impossible to get a speed from a laser gun. Black paint absorbs all light including laser beams. Also, you can drastically reduce the distance for when a laser gun will grab a reading by using lighting. Two or more high powered lights ( like offroad lights) will produce enough garbage ultraviolet lighting to confuse the laser gun when it's trying to recieve the laser beam it shot at your car. I know driving around with off road lights on is illegal, but if you put ultra violet filters on them, they look like they are off, but they will still be able to send out the lighting needed to confuse the laser guns. This has been tried and tested by a major car magazine with amazing results.
Just substitute Infra-red for Ultraviolet and you got it right. One of the magazines used 1 Million CP landing lights from a plane. Put IR filters from Edmund Scientific over the lamps. They look off (the filters are dark red) but essentially blind the laser.
Of course, you need a 500 amp alternator to keep the lights going and the Alternator drag will slow you down below the limit so you won't need to worry anyway
