[W126 Coupe] laser jammers

[Mark Clemence]

First of all, my Valentine has paid for itself (ticket
avoidance) at least 5 times over.  
As for laser jammers - I don't bother.  The laser
needs to aim the beam at a flat surface to work
properly - namely your license plates.  So, to disrupt
the laser operation, I put some washers under my
license plate screws to create a slightly angled
surface.  I figure this plus the V1's laser detector
is good protection from lasers.
