The disclosed device enables the user to verify the speed of their vehicle responsive to sensing that a radar device has been used to measure their speed. The device includes a radar detector designed to sense a radar beam. When the detector senses the beam, it activates a speed measuring device mounted on the vehicle which instantaneously measures the vehicle speed and then stores the measured speed for later display and for printing a permanent record, if desired. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to a combined radar detector, speed measuring device and printer for verifying vehicle speed.
The present invention includes the following interrelated objects, aspects and features: (A) In a first aspect, the present invention includes detector means designed to detect use of speed measuring device which is being employed by law enforcement personnel to measure the speed of the user's vehicle.
Customarily, the detector will comprise a radar (microwave) detector.
However, of course, since other types of speed measuring devices are used by law enforcement officials besides microwave-based devices, the detector which is incorporated into the teachings of the present invention may be of a type which detects microwaves, sound waves, light or other electromagnetic waves, etc.
(B) When the detector detects that a speed measuring device is being employed to measure the speed of the user's vehicle, the detector activates alarm means which may include audio and/or visual aspects so that the user is made aware that a speed measuring device is being employed.
Simultaneously, the detector sends out a signal which activates transmitter means mounted on the user's vehicle, which transmitter means transmits a signal which bounces off surrounding stationary surfaces.
A beam reflected from the surrounding stationary surfaces comprising a reflected signal is received by receiver means which transmits signals indicative of the reflected signal to a computer with memory.
The transmitter means may transmit optical, ultrasonic, microwave or other electromagnetic signals and the receiver means is designed accordingly.
(C) The computer with memory receives the signals from the receiver means, calculates the speed of the user's vehicle in a manner well known to those skilled in the art, and maintains the calculated speed within an internal memory.
(D) The display means may continuously display the measured speed of the user's vehicle or may be activated upon request
