During daylight, my method is to drive the speed limit until someone passes me, then drive the same speed as him until someone else passes us, then drive the same speed as him until someone else passes all of us. Safest when you have a little high-speed caravan of 4 or 5 cars.
Where I live, I've never been hit with a laser.
Mounting....I've always used suction cup mounts on the windshield. The newer cup mount from Escort works very, very well, but by far the best I've ever used is the Blendmount with MirrorTap.

I agreee... I got dinged in the middle of the night with no one on the road doing 30 over in a 60 zone (kmh). Charge was dropped to 0-15 and no demerits. Also saved me over 1000 on insurance.
I do the same thing with highway driving with the caravan. I'll cruise up to 115-120 and then if I see a person pass around 125-130 i'll tag along. If they zoom past too quickly I say f-it not worth it. I'll wait till slower - fast pain train comes.
If things go well you can usually get a good rotation. The worst is when a ding-bag will follow you, tail you, then you move over, he passes, then slows right back down.
