Is it true that you can let off your gas right before you pass a cop while they are using their speed gun and it'll say your going way slower than what you are actually going?

ABSOLUTELY...............................................................untrue. The fact of the matter is by the time you realize there is even a law enforcment officer, peace officer, sheriff, or trooper (cop is vulgar and derogatory unless you are saying it to be sexy) the radar signal has already been read and interpreted.

No i do no think this is true. Because it happen so fast that it would not make a difference. But the size of you tries does if they are no the right size that the car first came with then you could be going faster or slower then what you think you are going

No, this is not true. The best way to avoid a speeding ticket, is to simply do the posted speed limit. Sadly, far too many people dont understand this idea, which leads to increased loss of life, increased damage during wrecks, and increased insurance premiums.
Good luck, and stay safe.

Can you trick radar gun by slowing down? Well, it works as good as putting tin foil on your radiator. And how well does that work? It works as well as converting your cell phone into a radar detector by entering certain codes.
To put it another way, if you are passing the cop and he has you locked in his radar, the next thing you will see is red and blue lights.

No, it has to do with the speed that you are actually traveling oh and if you do see a cop with a radar gun, don't slam your brakes, thats instantly a sign that you have been speeding then saw him and slowed down, now it is harder to detect speed when its raining and snowing and really windy though.

Radar guns really act in a fraction of a second. It's impossible to fool them by simply letting your foot off the gas.

How can that be? They measure the speed you're doing based on the doppler shift. By letting go you just decelerate for that instant due to the friction of the moving parts.

I'm not sure about that, actually, but my two cents is that I doubt it. I wish it did! I've only been caught speeding once & that was 5 miles over the limit!

Once you've sped past a cop with radar, it's too late ... this cop has already clocked you long before.
