you really dont understand this do you!?
The radar beam that is reflected contains all the information needed to prosecute, i.e your current speed when the beam hit your car....so it doesnt matter what you do, once the beam has hit your car they have their info. Slow down, speed up it doesnt matter from that point on.....the next quarter of a mile is what you will cover to get to them pulling you over!
Edit: You can of course use a radar blocker (the garage opening device) in conjunction with a detector to block the signal temporarily whilst you hammer the brakes on - but these are 100% illegal and if the police suspect you are using one will go to town on your arse. Its obvious when one is being used as the radar gun wont lock which only occurs in rare circumstances and when being deliberately blocked.
