The bigger problem, as you alluded to, is that a typical radar beam fans
out pretty quickly and makes it difficult to pick a single vehicle out
of a pack. That's why officers wait until you're pretty close (1/8th of
a mile) before zapping you.

It's also why, when they zap a phalanx of approaching vehicles, the ones that
immediately slow down are telling him they have radar detectors and guilty
consciences.
