He could always not return the nip and receive only 3 points for failing to identify the driver offence (ms90 dvla code). No chance of losing licence, but can be expensive with some insurance companies.

Wait 14 days and see if you get a nip, if you dont, celebrate, if you do get over to www.pepipoo.com

Yes OllyK, I dont know what the size of the laser spot would be at any distance, theoretically it should not increase in size, but I imagine that it will. If the device is hand held I bet it will wander about a bit. At any significant distance the apparent size of the car will be small and I would be surprised if the signal did not get close enough to the detector to fire it off.

It sounded to me that he was a fair distance away from the van when he first saw it.

AFAIK

the aim point for the laser is the front number plate,

now you try sighting on an object using a hand held device, and holding a laser spot steady for the reading to register!!
