You don't tape the front sensor, you tape the rear one.

And it's highly unlikely you will detect a laser ping from a car in front of you. Not impossible, but not very likely.
In all of the years I had a Valentine 1, it never once detected an actual laser. The only thing it ever did was false alarm for laser with some taillights on newer cars, and from sunlight at certain times of day.

If you are worried about laser, then you should consider ALPriority.

Thanks!
